G'day, I'm Rusty.
Look, I'm gonna be straight with you – the next 16 days at Aldinga Beach are a write-off. There's no good surf on the cards at all. The forecast is a long, flat spell with a few moments of bump and nothing with any real quality. It's a tough run.
Let's walk through it. The first few days from Monday the 6th of July to Friday the 10th of July are practically flat. We're looking at tiny 0.3ft dribbles from the west with next to no energy – the combined swell energy is between 1 and 10, which is barely a ripple. The winds are mostly light offshore or glassy, so the water looks clean, but there's nothing to ride. It's a cruel tease.
Then Saturday the 11th of July gets messy. We've got strong breezes from the northwest, building to 25 mph, with a 0.3ft swell that's getting chopped up. That's a nope from me.
Now, Sunday the 12th of July brings a sudden spike. We get a 8ft to 10ft swell from the WSW, but it's short period – 7 to 8 seconds – and the wind is straight onshore at 22 mph. The combined energy jumps to 779 and 834, which is moderate to strong, but the conditions are just poor. The onshore wind will turn it into a washing machine. For a beginner, that size is too big, and for most, it's just ugly. It's not worth a look.
The tail end of the run, from Monday the 14th of July to Tuesday the 21st of July, is a mix of tiny swells and messy cross-onshore winds. The water temperature is sitting at 59°F, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Honestly, this is a blank run. It happens here. The forecasts can change, but right now, the only thing on offer is a flat, clean ocean for a paddle or a swim. There's no surf to get excited about.

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.
