G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've had a good look at the charts for Aldinga Beach, and I've got to be straight with you – it's a pretty grim run. There's not a single decent surf option in the entire 16-day window. The forecast is a flat spell with some ugly wind and swell events that just aren't coming together for a paddle. We've got a few days with some size, but the wind is going to ruin it every time.
Let's start with what's happening. For the first week, from Thursday 9th July through to the following Wednesday, the swell is tiny, mostly under 1 ft, with a weak combined energy (often under 20). The water temp is sitting at 59°F, which is about normal for this time of year. There's a bit of a spike on Saturday 11th July, with a 6 ft to 8 ft west-southwest swell, but it's a short-period, sloppy windswell and the wind is howling 25 mph onshore or cross-shore. That's not a surf day; that's a kite day, and even then it'd be messy.
The next real bit of energy comes in on Monday 20th July, with a 5 ft north-west swell, but again, the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, and the combined energy is only moderate at 160. It's going to be choppy and lumpy. The rest of the period is flat, with tiny waves and poor conditions. For a spot that's inconsistent anyway, this is a proper blank run. We don't get many good days here, and this forecast is a classic example of that. Forecasts can change, so don't lose hope, but right now, I'd leave the board in the shed.
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.
