Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what this stretch of coast has in store for us.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the next week and a half is going to be a real struggle. There's a massive, painful gap of barely any surf from now until the weekend of July 18th. We're talking days and days where the ocean just lays down and gives up. The little bumps we get are pitiful – we're looking at wave heights of 0.3ft to 2ft right through until Thursday, July 16th. The energy is almost non-existent, with values like 1, 2, and 12 – that's flat spells, pure and simple. You could almost waterski.
Let's be honest, the only thing happening is a bit of a pulse on Saturday, July 11th. We get a jump to 5ft to 5ft of swell from the W and WNW. But the period is a shocking 5 to 6 seconds – that's all wind chop, no weight to it. And the wind is howling onshore from the W and SW at 15 to 16 mph. It'll be a messy, blown-out scene. The combined wave energy jumps to 124-170 (moderate), but with that wind, it's a write-off. More of a kite-surfing day, to be honest, than a paddle session.
The real news, the only thing to get excited about, is way out there on the horizon. Look at July 18th, a Saturday. The models are hinting at something real. We've got a 7ft swell from the NNW arriving in the morning, with a combined energy of 257 (moderate to strong). The wind is a cross-offshore from the N at 22 mph, which is a strong breeze but it's offshore enough to clean things up. This is the one highlight. Aldinga Beach will be the spot to watch. The swell size at 7ft is expert territory, so the beginners should sit this one out. Just keep in mind, it's a beach break, so a long-period groundswell like this one (6 seconds isn't long, but the direction is right) can sometimes break a bit straight. But with that clean wind, the potential is huge for those who can handle it. The crowd factor can be "often" at this place, so expect company if the forecast holds. This is a promising but distant call – the sort of thing you check again closer to the day. Before that 18th, and after that Sunday the 19th when the wind goes bad again, it's a waiting game.
Alright, I'm signing off. Hope you got a board to fix in the meantime.
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.

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.
