Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the South Australian coast has to offer over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it's a tough run for Aldinga Beach. We're looking at a solid blank stretch for the guts of the forecast.
The pattern is frustrating. For the first week, through until the 21st of July, it's a write-off. We've got some swell pulses, but the wind is just relentless. It's onshore, cross-onshore, or howling, shredding any chance of a decent wave. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so at least you won't need the thickest suit, but you’ll be sitting there staring at a mess.
That big, stormy pulse on the 11th of July hits 6ft with short period, but the wind is a strong cross-shore from the NNW at 25 mph, and then whips onshore from the WSW at 22 mph. It's a kiter's dream, not a surfer's. The combined swell energy gets up there to 618, but the quality is just poor. It's the same story on the 12th and 13th – messy, onshore wind and about 3ft to 5ft of short period swell. Not worth paddling out.
We do get some glassy conditions on the morning of the 15th and 16th, but there's only 0.7ft to 1.0ft of swell. Just ankle biters. It's pretty bleak.
Now, if you are patient, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The one bright spot in the whole outlook is the morning of July 22nd. The swell jumps up to a clean 7ft from the WNW. It's a moderate energy pulse (319), but the wind is light, a cross-off from the N at only 9 mph, which should keep the face pretty clean for this spot. That combined with any consistency from the beach could offer up some chest to head high sets. It's the standout, the only real chance for a wave. Keep in mind though, at 7ft, it’s getting a bit solid for beginners. For the rest of that week, the swell drops off again and the wind turns funky. The 23rd of July has a 5ft swell, but with a cross-shore, it'll likely be chopped.
So to sum it up, if you're desperate, pencil in the morning of July 22nd. Otherwise, it's a long wait for better conditions.

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.
