G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've gotta level with you – the next couple of weeks at Aldinga Beach are looking pretty grim. For a stretch like this, you're better off tuning up the fishing gear or getting that going on the projects. There’s nothing on the table right now, and we’re going to be staring at a big fat gap of flatness for a good long while. This kind of blank run isn't totally out of the ordinary for the area, but it stings when you're looking for a wave.
The first proper sign of any surf energy isn't until Saturday, July 11th. Even then, it's a messy, stormy affair. We've got some new swell pushing in from the W, bumping up to about 4 ft in the morning, but it's a junk windswell with a period of only 5 seconds. The wind is a howling westerly at 19 mph straight onshore, and you can bet that combined energy (80 – 120) is just going to churn the place into a washing machine. The conditions are poor across the board. Sunday the 12th is more of the same – rain showers, onshore winds up to 22 mph, with 4 ft to 4 ft of messy, short-period slop. That's a strong no from me.
The following week doesn't offer up any redemption either. The swell drops right back, with waves barely registering 0.7 ft to 1 ft through most of the week. A few windows of clean, glassy conditions pop up, like late on Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, but there's simply not enough water moving to paddle a board on. The energy readings are in the single digits. You might get a stray ripple, but it's a frustrating flat spell.
Even into the third week, nothing changes. The swell stays tiny, and the wind keeps shifting around from the north and west. For a beach break with no real shape on offer, conditions like this with onshore wind and small, weak swell just aren't built for a paddle surfer. If you're into kite surfing, maybe the sporadic gusts and small chop might get you going, but for a surfboard, it's a no-go zone. Honestly, for this whole 16-day window, there is not a single moment I'd recommend you even bother to check the tide.

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.
