The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for Aldinga Beach, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak run across the full 16 days. There’s just nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for. The finder is giving every single session a big fat zero, so we’re talking a complete blank stretch right through from Tuesday, September 1st, all the way to Wednesday, September 16th.
The swell is microscopic for the most part, with the biggest bump coming in on Saturday, September 5th morning, with a 5 ft swell from the WSW. But even then, the wind is a strong onshore 30 km/h from the WSW, turning what little energy there is into a messy, choppy mess. The combined energy hits 170 (moderate) on that morning, but it’s no good for a paddle – honestly, with that wind and the beach break setup, it’d be more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer.
There are a few glassy moments, like Sunday, September 6th afternoon with a light NNE breeze and clean conditions, but the swell is down to 1 ft with a period of 9 seconds. That’s barely a ripple. Water temperature at Aldinga Beach is sitting at 15°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
In short, don’t bother. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf. It’s a tough spot when the consistency is “inconsistent” and the forecasts show nothing but poor conditions. It’s more normal for this area to have dry spells, but this one is a stinker. Keep an eye on the charts, though – it tends not to stay this flat forever.
Rusty.

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.
