The Lowdown
Rightio, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak run ahead for our local stretch. Aldinga Beach is looking at a solid 16-day stretch of flat or tiny, messy conditions. There’s no real stand-out session in this whole window, not even a sneaky one.
The first real bit of interest doesn’t turn up until Saturday morning the 20th of September. Even then, we’re only talking about a 3ft windswell from the west, but it’s getting hammered by a fresh onshore breeze. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine. The combined energy is a weak 69 – barely a ripple. Kite surfers might find something to play with, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass.
The rest of the run is a desert. You’ve got days with nothing but tiny 0.3ft to 1ft slop with long periods but zero push, or short-period wind chop that’s blown out. Aldinga Beach itself is an inconsistent spot here, and this pretty much shows why – it’s a long wait for something, and this time there’s nothing worth waiting for.
On the bright side, a break like this can switch around quickly if a proper swell and some offshore wind line up. Forecasts change. For now though, you’re better off finding something else to do.
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. 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.
