Hey folks, Rusty here. It's a pretty bleak picture out at Aldinga Beach for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's one of those times to find something else to do. We're looking at a long stretch of flatness and junky wind, and even when a bit of swell does pop up, it's not gonna be clean.
The first thing that resembles a wave won't come until Saturday, July 11th, and even then it's a rough one. You'll have an onshore wind blowing at 19 mph from the WSW, shoving around a messy 5 ft swell from the same direction with a short 6-second period. The combined wave energy is still weak at 142, but that onshore wind just kills it. This one's more for the kite surfers than us paddle guys.
Your next chance comes on Saturday, July 18th. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the WSW, but it's still a short period of 6 seconds, giving us a moderate combined energy of 244. The wind is going to be strong and onshore again from the SW at 12 mph. That size is pushing past beginner territory, but with the wind and short period, it's going to be a messy, blown-out affair that only the most die-hard experts would consider.
In between those two dates, we get tiny little bumps of 0.7 ft to 1 ft, but they're always accompanied by some form of onshore or cross-onshore wind. Not worth the effort.
The surf out here is inconsistent at the best of times, so a blank run like this isn't unusual for the area. Don't stress, forecasts can change. The boards will wait.
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.
