Asling's Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk Asling’s Beach over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, this stretch is real sheltered, and we’re looking at a long flat spell to start. Most of the early days just ain’t worth a paddle.

The run kicks off Saturday, 25 July, with a tiny 0.6m SSE swell, period at 11 seconds, but the wave energy is weak at just (90). The WSW wind at 20 km/h is cross-off, so it looks clean, but there’s no power. That theme holds through Sunday and Monday – swell stays under 1m, period drops short. Monday morning turns glassy with a light N wind, but the swell is only 0.5m from the south at a short 8 seconds – barely a bump.

Tuesday, 28 July, we bottom out with 0.2m ESE swell. The period stretches to 15 seconds, but energy is almost nothing (26). Glassy Tuesday afternoon still doesn’t make it happen. Wednesday and Thursday bring more wind – up to 35 km/h from the WSW – but the swell never gets above 0.7m and energy stays miniscule.

You’re looking at a real drought until Monday, 3 August. That’s over a week of flatness. Then, on Monday morning, we finally get something: a 1.0m SE swell, 9-second period, and energy climbs to (184) – moderate for the first time. Wind is light NW at 5 km/h, glassy, clean. Conditions are still ordinary, but at least there’s a wave to surf.

Tuesday, 4 August morning, pushes a little bigger: 1.2m from the east, short period at 7 seconds, energy at (178). A solid NW offshore wind at 20 km/h keeps the faces tidy. That afternoon the swell hits 1.5m but the wind swings onshore from the SSE and it falls apart. The morning window is the pick – just keep in mind the short period won’t give you much shape.

We get a few more small peaks around 1.0m on Wednesday and Thursday mornings with light offshores, energy in the 140-240 range. By Friday, 7 August morning, there’s a clean 0.8m E swell with a light NW offshore and (146) energy. That afternoon it goes glassy with 0.5m and a longer 12-second period – a clean little session for the mellow crew.

For the standout, I’d call Monday, 3 August morning, and Tuesday, 4 August morning, your best shots. Clean offshores and the most size, but the east swell direction doesn’t match the optimum SE for this spot, and it’s short-period stuff. Asling’s is a sheltered beginner-friendly beach, so big groundswell ain’t its game. Still, for the local who’s patient, those mornings should offer a few fun rides.

Water temp is running about average for this time of year, 15°C, nothing unusual.

Keep your eyes peeled, but don’t get too amped – it’s gonna be a quiet run. Rusty.
