Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a hard look at the next 16 days for Aldinga Beach.
Gotta be straight with you – right now, the cupboard is bare. We’re looking at a real dry spell kicking things off. The first few days? Forget it. From Tuesday afternoon the 7th right through until late Friday the 10th, there’s just nothing doing. Tiny little dribbles of swell, mostly from the west or southwest, with combined energy barely scratching 15 (0 to 15). It's a total ghost town for waves.
That all changes, and I mean *changes*, on Saturday the 11th of July. A short-period westerly swell rolls in, pushing 6ft to 6ft. The combined energy jumps to a solid 232 to 328 (moderate wave energy). But here’s the kicker – the wind is howling from the west and southwest at 19 to 22 mph, blowing straight onshore. That’s going to make a mess of it. With the swell over 5ft and those conditions, this is not beginner territory. It's going to be lumpy, choppy, and a full-on battle. Not the best quality surf, and honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Sunday the 12th still has size, around 4ft to 4ft from the west, but the wind stays fresh and cross-onshore. The energy drops off hard to 85 and then 67. It’s still a rough, lumpy mess.
We get a cleaner window on Saturday the 18th of July. The swell pops back up to 5ft from the northwest with a combined energy of 106 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a north-northwesterly at 16 to 19 mph, which is cross-shore and cross-offshore. That’ll clean it up nicely compared to the week before. For a surfer ready for a bit of size, this is the standout of the whole run. The shorter period (5 seconds) means the waves will be a bit fat and crumbly, but the clean wind and moderate size make it the best on offer. The water is sitting at 59°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
After that, the energy fades into the final days, and by Wednesday the 22nd, we’re back to virtual flatness with onshore wind.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The one true standout is the morning of Saturday the 18th of July. Get on it if you can. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
