Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Aldinga Beach has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. The honest truth is, it's looking pretty flat and grim for the vast majority of the forecast period.
Straight up, for the first several days right through to the 10th of July, there's just no swell to speak of. We're talking about a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that won't be worth the wetsuit struggle, with the combined swell energy barely cracking double digits. You might as well leave the board in the shed.
There's a little spike around Saturday the 11th of July when a short-period swell pushes in from the west-northwest. We'll see a bump up to about 5ft, but with a period of only 5 seconds, that's just messy, wind-driven junk. Unfortunately, it's accompanied by a strong breeze that'll chop it all up. The next day, Sunday the 12th, is still a write-off with onshore winds tearing apart the 4ft of swell. The wave energy does hit a moderate 212 on the Saturday, but it's just not clean.
After that, it's back to a long, quiet run. From about the 13th of July right through to the 17th, we're looking at tiny 0.3ft to 1ft leftovers. There are a few mornings with glassy or offshore conditions, which is a tease, but with nothing to ride, it's all for nothing.
Things might perk up a tiny bit on the 18th of July, but even then, the best we get is 4ft from the northwest with a short 5-second period. It stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is weak. The whole stretch is a bust for proper surfing.
Honestly, for this area, this kind of blank run just happens. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It's not the best time for a paddle; it'd be more interesting to take up kite surfing if the wind is up, because there's just nothing for a surfer to sink a rail into.
Rusty, signing off.

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.

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.
