Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for Aldinga Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell for any decent waves. The forecast shows nothing but tiny, weak surf and poor conditions for days on end. From Monday the 6th through Saturday the 18th of July, every single entry is marked as "poor surf conditions" with scores of zero. That's nearly two full weeks of flat, unrideable junk. It's a real bummer, but the truth is for a spot like Aldinga Beach that's inconsistent, this kind of blank run isn't all that unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn't even bother checking the ocean until we get past that second week.
Now, if you're desperate and don't mind a bit of a washing machine, there's a slight pulse of energy early in the third week. On Sunday the 19th of July, we've got a short-period, onshore mess from the NW pushing through. The swell height will be around 4 ft, but with that wind, it'll be a chop festival. The combined wave energy hits a paltry 58 (moderate), but the quality is non-existent. Monday the 20th is no better, with a cross-onshore breeze and a drop in size to 2 ft.
To be honest, if you're into kitesurfing, that windy, choppy setup on Sunday might be your jam because for a paddle surfer, it's a write-off. We need a proper swell window, the right wind, and for the stars to align. This outlook has none of that. I've seen it go flat here before, and it tends not to stay this way forever, but for now, save the gas and wax your board for another day.
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.
