Alright, listen up. It’s Rusty, and I’m looking at the forecast for Aldinga Beach. Gotta tell you, the first week is a total bust. We’re talking zero surf for the first 8 days, swell heights barely a few inches, so don't even bother. There's a glassy moment on Monday the 6th in the afternoon, but with no wave height, you're just looking at a mirror.
Then we hit a big gap of nothing until the 12th of July (Sunday). Sunday morning kicks off with a weak, lumpy 4ft swell from the NW, but the wind is messy and onshore. The energy is weak at 63. Sunday afternoon gets a bit bigger at 5ft, but still with a short period and bad wind.
The biggest push hits on Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th. Monday morning has a 6ft swell from the WSW, with the energy climbing to a moderate 263. By Monday afternoon, it’s pumping at 7ft from the WSW, and the energy is a solid 420. That’s a lot of water. But here’s the catch: the wind is cross-shore or cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be choppy and lumpy. For a beach break like Aldinga, this is a full-on battle, not a cruise. It honestly looks better for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers. Tuesday the 14th still holds 7ft in the morning, but it’s still choppy. Unless you’re an expert looking for a grindy session, I’d call this a pass.
After that, the swell drops off fast, staying under 3ft for the rest of the run into the next week, with mostly onshore winds. The water temp is about 59°, which is normal for this time of year.
So, the final call: There’s no single day that’s a standout. The biggest, most powerful window is Monday the 13th, but it’s messy. For a beginner, anything over 5ft is too much, and Monday afternoon’s 7ft is for experts only. This is a rough patch for Aldinga. It won't stay this flat forever, but for now, hang up the board.
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. 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.
