The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me tell you straight up, looking at the entire 16-day window for Aldinga Beach, it’s a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a pretty barren run, so don't get your hopes up for any decent waves.
The first few days are a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell with poor conditions. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are flat and messy with onshore winds. Sunday the 26th has a moment where the wind goes glassy in the afternoon, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft from the WSW with a period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 5, so you’re basically just bobbing around. The water temp is sitting at 58°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The only real pulse of energy comes in on Tuesday the 28th, with a 3ft swell from the west, but it's a short-period 4-second wind swell piling in with a cross-onshore wind. The combined energy hits 80, which is still weak, and the onshore chop makes it a complete mess. That’s not a day for a surfboard; if you’ve got a kite, that setup might be worth a look.
After that, the swell drops right back to tiny, inconsistent dribble for the rest of the week and into the start of August. There are glimmers of clean, glassy conditions on the 30th and 31st, but with the swell being a paltry 0.7ft or less, it’s a flat spell. The water temp anomaly is -0.6°, so nothing unusual there.
The second week is more of the same. The 2nd of August sees a brief spike of 3ft, but it's attached to a 16 mph onshore wind and a 4-second period, which is just a stormy mess. The rest of the period is dominated by tiny swell and mostly clean winds, but with combined energy values stuck at 1 or 2, there’s simply nothing to ride. Aldinga Beach is inconsistent at the best of times, and this looks like a normal blank run for the area. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
Rusty.

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.
