The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for the imperial crew.
It’s a grim 16 days for Aldinga Beach. We’re lookin’ at a long stretch of flat, weak, or blown-out surf. The water temp is about 58.6°F, which is dead average for this time of year, so no surprises.
The only time the ocean wakes up is on Saturday, September 5th. The morning shows a solid 8.2ft swell from the WSW, but it’s getting hammered by a 25 mph onshore wind from the W. That’s a big 828 units of combined energy (moderate to strong), but the conditions are total junk. That size is for experts only, and with that wind, it’s a choppy mess. Honestly, with that much onshore wind and a beach break, this is more of a kite surfing day than a paddle surfing day. The afternoon drops to 5.9ft, but the wind is still a fresh 19 mph onshore. Not a pretty picture.
There’s a tiny window of calm on Sunday, September 6th. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 1.3ft. The afternoon goes glassy with a 1ft swell, but you’d be struggling to catch anything. For the rest of the first week and into the second, it’s all tiny, weak, or junk swells with periods under 10 seconds. The second week is just as flat, with barely any energy.
Bottom line: Don’t bother. The gear can stay in the shed. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a total dead zone.

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.
