Hey, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same outlook in feet and miles per hour.
Aldinga Beach is looking at a pretty flat 16-day stretch with not much surf to write home about. The first real chance of something rideable is a long way off, so expect a gap of several days with nothing on offer.
Water temperature is about 59°, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
Right now, Saturday morning, you've got glassy conditions with a swell at about 1ft from the WSW, period of 8 seconds. Combined energy is weak at (12). Clean, but barely a ripple to ride.
Sunday and Monday only get smaller, dropping to a foot or less. The wind does go offshore or glassy, but there's just no wave energy.
That flat spell runs right through the first week. By Thursday, July 10, a little pulse shows with a 1ft swell but a long period of 16 seconds and combined energy hitting (11). Still tiny, but clean with cross-off breeze.
Saturday, July 11 afternoon brings a bump: swell jumps to around 4-5ft from the NW, but the period is a short 6 seconds – pure windswell. Combined energy is moderate at (123). Wind is cross at 25 mph, so it's a bit choppy. Honestly, with that wind and the beach setup, this might be better for kite surfing than paddling in.
Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th see swells up to 6-7ft, but the period stays short (5-6 seconds) and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore at 15-25 mph. The energy picks up (213 and 366), but it's just a messy, choppy wall of white water. Only for experienced surfers, and even then it's not pretty.
From there, the swell drops off again, and the wind stays messy or onshore. The second week offers nothing worth chasing.
Best of the bunch is probably those clean, glassy mornings on July 8 and July 10, but with only 1ft waves you'd need a longboard. Otherwise, it's a time to find something else to do.
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.
