Alright, let’s break this down for Aldinga Beach over the next couple weeks. Rusty here. I’ll level with you: the surf outlook is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, and mostly messy conditions. If you’re hoping for something to ride, you’re going to be waiting a while.

It starts off flat on Saturday, July 4th, with just a little 0.3m swell from the WSW at 8 seconds. Water temp is 59°F, right where it should be for this time of year. That little bump has hardly any energy (11), and honestly, it’s a no-go.

Then it gets worse. From Sunday the 5th through at least Thursday the 9th, we’re talking ankle-snappers—0.3ft from the west or southwest, with periods bouncing between 8 and 11 seconds. Energy readings are in the single digits or low teens. Some mornings have that clean offshore wind or glassy surface, but with waves that small, you’d be bored stiff.

Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th are completely flat (zero energy). Friday the 10th offers a little hope with a 0.3ft swell and a period of 16 seconds—that’s very long period groundswell. Energy ticks up to 12, but it’s still tiny, and the wind is cross-off or cross. That long period can be good at a point or reef, but at a beach break like Aldinga, it tends to wall up and close out. A long shot at best.

Then things get ugly. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th bring strong onshore winds (25-28 mph) and rain. Swell tries to show up (0.7ft to 2ft), but it’s blown out and lumpy. This is kite-surfing weather, not paddling. Energy climbs into the 30s and 40s in the second week—on the 14th we see a 3ft swell with 37 energy—but it’s onshore, short period (5 seconds), and choppy. No good for a surfer.

Toward the very end, Friday the 17th shows a glassy 0.7ft from the WSW, and the 18th has some cross-shore action, but energy is still low. The 19th is a mess with fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy chop.

For the whole 16-day window, there are no standout days. Aldinga Beach is an inconsistent spot, so this kind of flat run is pretty normal. Keep an eye out, but for now, the boards can stay in the shed.

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.
