Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Aldinga Beach over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty grim for a proper paddle session. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead.
Right now, and for the first few days, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The wind’s howling out of the northwest at 28 mph on Saturday the 11th, making a mess of that 6ft swell. That cross-shore chop is all over the place. It’s ugly. By Sunday the 12th, the wind swings onshore from the west, and that 6ft to 5ft swell is just lumpy and blown out. The water’s sitting at 59°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
Honestly, we’re looking at a big gap. There’s really nothing to recommend until we get to Wednesday the 22nd, and even then it's tiny. The only time things threaten to get interesting is on Sunday the 19th. The finder shows a building 6ft swell from the NNW, and the wind is looking clean from the north at 25 mph. But the period is a short 6 seconds, with that combined wave energy reading 205 (moderate). The trouble is, it’s an inconsistent break here, so even with swell, you can’t bank on it. That northwest direction isn’t in the sweet spot for Aldinga either, which likes it from the SW.
The only real standout, and it’s a distant one, is Monday the 20th. We get a 1ft pulse of SW swell with a long period of 10 seconds. That’s a nice groundswell signal. The wind is light from the WSW – onshore, but only 6 mph. The combined energy is 69 (weak), but the direction is perfect. For a spot that’s southwest-facing, that tiny, long-period groundswell could wrap in cleanly. Don’t expect any size, but it might offer a glassy little ankle-snapper for the patient locals.
Other than that, it’s an empty forecast. There’s no consistency on offer, and with only one break in the mix, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. Keep an eye on that Monday the 20th. The forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a quiet one.
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.
