The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it. The next two weeks at Aldinga Beach look like a tough slog for a decent surf. There’s a big dry spell up front.
For the first week, the swell is practically non-existent. From Monday the 7th onward, we’re stuck with tiny waves of 0.3ft to 0.7ft and very low energy readings, mostly in the single digits. Even when the wind turns glassy or offshore, like on Tuesday morning the 8th with a dead calm from the NNW, there’s nothing to catch. The water temp is 58°, pretty normal for this time of year.
The second week doesn’t offer much relief. The first real bump in energy comes on Friday the 18th with a reading of 109, but it’s a short-period, messy NNW swell of 5ft with a period of just 5 seconds. That’s a wind-blown chop, and with the wind shifting from cross-off to cross-onshore, it’s going to be choppy and ugly. Honestly, this looks more like a kite-surfing day than a clean surf session.
The only window that might be worth a look is the morning of Saturday the 19th. The finder calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” but the wind is clean from the north at 9 mph, and we’ve got a 2ft WSW swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is 85, which is moderate. It’s small, so you’ll want a longboard, and it’s inconsistent here, so expect long waits between sets. Crowds are likely, given it’s often busy.
After that, Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st bring a little waist-high chop with offshore winds, but the quality is still poor. The period is short, and the waves will be crumbly.
So, if you’re keen, hit the water on the morning of Saturday the 19th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. Otherwise, the next two weeks are a bust for Aldinga Beach. Forecasts can always change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
