The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Aldinga Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim run. There’s no surf worth paddling out for in this entire 16-day window. We’re looking at a solid stretch of flat, small, and messy conditions with nothing breaking the mould. The first few days are a write-off, and honestly, the whole period follows suit.
Starting off Saturday the 25th of July, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the WSW with a weak period of 5 seconds. Combined energy is a measly 7, and with a light onshore breeze, it’s just poor. Sunday the 26th stays small and cross-shore, with swell dropping to 1ft and then 0.7ft. Monday the 27th sees a bit more wind, with a gusty 15-18 mph breeze from the NNW, but the swell is still only 0.7ft in the morning, jumping to 4ft by the afternoon from the NW. That 4ft is the biggest we see all week, but with a period of just 5 seconds and a fresh cross-shore wind, it’s lumpy and poor. Tuesday the 28th brings a 6ft swell from the WSW with a period of 6 seconds and an onshore breeze of 22 mph – that’s a messy, blown-out 6ft, and the combined energy hits 215, which is moderate, but it’s not doing us any favours. The rest of the week is tiny, with 0.3ft to 1ft, and even when we get glassy conditions on Thursday the 30th morning, it’s only 0.7ft. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 8th of August with a 1ft WSW swell and a period of 7 seconds, but it’s still weak. Even the long-period 16-second swell on Thursday the 6th of August afternoon is only 0.3ft – it’s a ghost swell.
For a spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this is a particularly blank run. The water temperature is sitting at 58°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. But with no decent swell, consistent onshore or cross-shore winds, and the wave comment calling it “poor surf conditions” every single day, there’s nothing to get excited about. If you’re a kite surfer, the 6ft day on Tuesday the 28th might look interesting with the strong onshore wind, but for us paddle surfers, it’s a no-go.
Look, forecasts can change, and we’ve seen worse turn around, but based on what’s in front of us, you’re better off waxing the board and waiting for the next window. Hang in there.

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.
