The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you. Looking at the charts for Aldinga Beach over the next couple of weeks, it's a pretty bleak picture. The finder is giving us zero recommendations for the entire 16-day window, and that tells you everything you need to know. We've got a long stretch of flat, unrideable conditions ahead.
The swell energy is almost non-existent for the first ten days, with combined energy readings barely cracking 30 (27) on the 23rd of July, and then mostly just single digits. You'll see a bump on the 28th of July with a bit more energy (146), but that's a raw 5 ft NW windswell with a short, crumbly 5-second period, and the wind is howling onshore. It's a total mess. It's the kind of day where the kites might be having a ball, but for a paddle surfer, it's a write-off.
Then, after that brief pulse, it drops straight back into the doldrums. The consistency is terrible. You get a few clean mornings from the 29th of July onward, but with waves barely a few inches high, clean or not, there's nothing to ride. The water temp is sitting on 58° on the 23rd, which is about 1° cooler than normal for this time of year, so pretty average for winter. Nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, for this stretch, the best advice is to leave the board in the car. The blank run is long and it's normal for Aldinga when it's like this. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing here for us.
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.
