The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on Aldinga Beach.
It's a dry spell, plain and simple. Over the next 16 days, there's not a single session worth chasing. The whole forecast is a dud. The only time the water even gets a little bit of push is on the 28th of July, when a 1.3m swell from the WNW shows up, with a combined energy of 127. But don't get excited—the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, and it'll be choppy and blown out. The water temp is 58°, right where it should be for this time of year.
For the rest of the run, we're looking at tiny, weak swells. The 26th of July Sunday morning has a clean look with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is only 1 foot and the energy is a measly 4. You'd be better off staying in bed.
This break is inconsistent to begin with, so a long stretch of nothing isn't a surprise. It's a fairly exposed beach, but with the wind we've got, it's a kite-surfing setup more than a paddling one right now. Don't hold your breath; just wait for the next change.
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.
