The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a real flat spell for this area. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, so don’t be in a hurry to wax the board. The first real whisper of anything rideable doesn’t show up until the very end of the window.
The main break on offer is Aldinga Beach. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a prime example of why. The water temp is sitting at 58°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there.
From Tuesday the 14th onward, we’re looking at a whole lot of tiny, weak windswell. The swell heights barely push past 3ft, and the periods are short, mostly in the 4 to 8 second range, which means no real shape or power. The combined wave energy is weak, hitting a max of just 45 (for a weak, messy 3ft swell on the 22nd) and sitting in the single digits for most of the first week. The wind is all over the shop, too. We get a few glassy moments on the 16th and 17th, but the swell is so small, less than 1ft, it’s just not worth the effort. There’s a long gap from the 18th through the 28th where the swell is basically non-existent, averaging less than 1ft.
The only flicker of hope comes right at the very end. Wednesday the 29th sees a small pulse of new swell. By the afternoon, we’re looking at 4ft of swell from the NNW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 120 (moderate), and the wind swings offshore from the East at 6 mph, which should keep things clean. It’s surfable, but the conditions are described as “very ordinary.” It’s an inconsistent spot, so this is a rare event, but it’s a long way off and a lot can change. For now, it’s the only small window on the table.
Stay patient, the ocean will come around. For the next week or so, don’t bother. Keep an eye on that 29th.

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.
