The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Aldinga Beach over the next couple of weeks.

First off, I gotta be straight with ya – it’s a tough run. The surf is pretty much a ghost town for the entire 16-day window. We’re looking at a long, dry stretch with no real swell to speak of, so don’t go waxing up just yet.

Things start off rough. Friday the 24th of July and Saturday the 25th are flat as a pancake, with tiny 0.7ft to 2ft dribble and choppy cross-onshore winds. Not worth a paddle. Sunday the 26th is more of the same – tiny 1ft waves with light cross-shore breezes making for a messy, gutless ocean.

Monday the 27th sees a bit of a clean-up with some cross-offshore wind, but the swell is still pathetic at 0.7ft. That trend continues through the week. Tuesday the 28th pops up a little with 4ft from the WNW, but it’s short period (5 seconds) and choppy onshore – more of a messy windswell than anything you’d want to ride. The combined energy is only 90 (weak), so it’s not gonna light anyone up.

We get a few glassy mornings on Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th, but the swell is tiny – 1.0ft and 0.7ft respectively. You’d be staring at a flat, slick ocean. The rest of the first week and into the second week is more of the same: tiny swells, mostly under 2ft, with occasional clean conditions but no power.

The second week is a total write-off. Into August, we’re looking at 0.3ft to 1ft waves with clean cross-offshore winds, but that’s like getting excited about a ripple in a bathtub. The combined energy values are in the single digits – that’s about as weak as it gets.

Even the long-range days around the 5th and 6th of August show a 0.3ft swell with a 13-second period, but it’s just a whisper. The water temperature is sitting at 58°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Bottom line: there’s nothing here worth the drive. The entire forecast period is a flat spell. Aldinga Beach is an inconsistent spot, and this run is a perfect example of that. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.

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. If you surf the same spot (Aldinga Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
