Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Aldinga Beach has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough run. We’ve got a long, dry stretch ahead before anything even thinks about showing up. The first surf of any kind arrives Friday afternoon, 3 July, but honestly, it’s a write-off. Swell is a tiny 2ft from the WSW with a short, weak 5-second period and the combined energy is a measly 46. On top of that, the wind is onshore and it’s labelled as poor surf conditions. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
Saturday the 4th is even smaller, dropping to 1.0ft, though the morning does go glassy with a light SSE breeze. The swell is still weak and from the WSW, with barely any energy (12). It’s just too small. Sunday and Monday, the 5th and 6th, are utterly flat with swell barely registering (0.3ft). Tuesday the 7th has nothing at all.
We stay flat or near-flat through until Saturday the 11th of July. That morning, things finally wake up. We get a bump to 6ft from the NNW, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the combined energy is 195 – moderate, but messy. The wind is a moderate breeze from the north, cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. Still, the files say poor surf conditions. With that size and short period, it’ll be a lumpy, gutless affair, probably better for a bodyboard than a shortboard. This is the only pulse of size in the whole outlook.
After that, it’s back downhill. Sunday the 12th gets a bit of a sloppy 4ft to 5ft swell with strong, onshore winds up to 22 mph, turning it into a complete mess. The rest of the second week sees the swell disappear again, with nothing over 1.0ft, and persistent onshore and cross-shore winds. The last day with any measurable wave is Saturday the 18th of July, with a pathetic 0.7ft from the WSW.
Bottom line: there’s a single, underwhelming bump on Saturday the 11th, but it’s not one I’d bother chasing. The water temperature is sitting around 59°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re staring at a flat ocean. This is a typical winter lull for Aldinga – sometimes you just have to wait for the next system.
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.

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.
