G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Aldinga Beach. To be straight with you, for the next 16 days there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The first record starts on Friday the 3rd of July, and from there right through to Saturday the 18th, every session is flagged as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid run of flat or messy days, no standout options in sight.
Let’s run through it. Friday the 3rd kicks off with a WSW wind at 16 mph, swell height at 5 ft from the WSW but with a short period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 132 (moderate). The wind is onshore, so it’s lumpy and uninviting. That afternoon, the swell drops to 1 ft and the wind eases, but it’s still poor.
Saturday the 4th starts glassy with an easterly breeze, but the swell is tiny at 1.0 ft and the energy is down to 12 (weak). Saturday afternoon picks up a light cross-onshore, still not worth it.
From Sunday the 5th through to Thursday the 16th, the swell hovers between nothing and 2 ft, periods mostly short (3 to 11 seconds), and combined energy mostly in the single digits. There’s a brief uptick on Saturday the 11th of July – morning sees 5 ft from the WNW, period 5 seconds, energy 126 (moderate), but the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-off. That’s blown out and choppy. By the afternoon it’s 6 ft, 223 energy (moderate) but with 19 mph cross-shore wind and light rain – messy.
Sunday the 12th brings the biggest swell of the window: 7 ft from the WSW, period 7 seconds, energy 430 (strong). But we’ve got risk of thunderstorms, 12-19 mph cross-onshore wind, and choppy conditions. Even for experts, this is a rough one. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Water temperature sits at 60°F with an anomaly of -0.4°, so about average for the time of year.
There’s no standout break here – no break worth highlighting. This is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for the area when the wind and swell don’t line up. But forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
Stay patient,
Rusty

Information about the Aldinga Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Aldinga Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Aldinga Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aldinga Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Aldinga Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Aldinga Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
