The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for surf around here. There’s a long gap from now until the 22nd of July where the swell just isn’t offering anything proper. The first real hope doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 22nd, and even then, it’s a case of managing expectations.
Aldinga Beach is the only break on the cards, and it’s a beginner-friendly, inconsistent spot. The first hint of energy comes Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July, with a short-period, messy 2ft swell from the NW. The combined energy is weak (13), and the wind is cross-shore, making for a pretty average, choppy surface. The afternoon goes even worse, with onshore wind and swell dropping to less than 0.5ft. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Thursday the 23rd brings a bit more activity, but it’s still poor. A 2ft swell from the W with a short period of 5 seconds and weak energy (17) is on offer, but onshore winds ruin it. The afternoon is a similar story - a tiny 0.3ft swell with a very long period of 14 seconds, but the cross-onshore breeze makes it choppy and unappealing.
The rest of the week and into the weekend of the 25th and 26th stays flat or tiny, with weak onshore winds. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
The 27th of July, Monday morning, offers a flat, glassy start with a 0.3ft, long-period swell (11 seconds), but it’s barely there. The 28th and 29th are much the same – tiny, weak swells, not enough to ride.
To be blunt, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The area is always prone to these blank runs, so it’s not unusual. Keep your eyes on the forecasts; it tends not to stay this poor forever.
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.

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.
