The Lowdown
Right, I’ve had a look at this stretch… and I’m not gonna lie, it’s a tough one for us down here at Aldinga Beach. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat and lifeless for the most part. We’ve got a real dry spell on the cards, with hardly any surf worth paddling out for.
For the first week, from Sunday the 2nd right through to Saturday the 8th, it’s tiny. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best. On Sunday the 2nd morning, there’s a weak 0.3 ft west swell, but with a 16 mph north wind, it’s just messy. Even when the wind goes glassy or light offshore on Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th, the swell is barely a ripple – 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft. The combined energy is pitiful, sitting at single digits most of the time (1 to 13). There’s just nothing to work with.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope either. The pick of a very poor bunch might be Wednesday the 12th. We’ve got a 7 ft swell from the southwest, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a moderate 424. But it’s coming in with a 19 mph cross-onshore wind from the west-northwest, so it’s going to be lumpy and blown out. The swell is over 8 ft, so this is for experienced surfers only, and even then, it’s going to be a battle. Honestly, for a beach break like Aldinga, that combo is more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year. There’s no standout day here, lads. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run. Keep an eye on it, but don’t get your hopes up.

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.
