The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Aldinga Beach over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean run. A real dry spell. For the entire 16-day window, there’s just nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for. The wave heights barely tickle the knee, and the energy is flat. We’re talkin’ combined swell energy maxin’ out at a measly 47 (weak) right at the very end on the 23rd of September, but even then the swell is only 1 ft from the SW. That’s not enough to get excited about.
The first good look at any kind of surf doesn’t appear until the 14th of September, and even then it’s just 2 ft from the west with a short 5-second period. The wind is cross-on, so it’s messy. Not worth a trip. This pattern just keeps goin’ – tiny swell, poor wind, and scores that don’t break zero. There’s a long gap from the start right through to the end with no real recommendations.
Aldinga Beach is an inconsistent spot, and this forecast is a perfect example of that. It’s a tough time for a beginner, and frankly, it looks more interestin’ for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those rare days when the wind picks up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze, but there’s just no wave to ride.
So, I’m gonna say it plain: don’t bother loadin’ up the boards for a while. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total blank.

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.
