The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Asling's Beach has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight up, this is a tough stretch. For the first twelve days, from now through the end of August, the surf is just plain gutless. We're talking tiny dribbles that won't even wrap around your ankle – mostly under 2 ft. The wind is all over the shop, swinging from cross-off to cross-on and glassy at times, but with no energy in the water, it doesn't matter what the wind's doing. You'll be staring at a lake. The water temp is sitting right around 60°F with an anomaly of 1°F, so pretty average for this time of year. There are long gaps with absolutely nothing to recommend here.
Now, hang on, because things get interesting right at the very end. On Sunday, 30 August, something wakes up. We get a chest-to-head-high swell rolling in from the SSE at 5 ft, and check this out – the period is a whopping 16 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading is a massive 1214, telling you there's some serious power behind it. The wind is only a slight air from the NE, keeping things glassy with a light cross-shore texture. This isn't a spot you paddle out at for a quick hour; with that long period at a beach break, it could be a bit straight, but the quality of that energy and the clean conditions make this the one standout window. By the afternoon, the swell drops to a still solid 4 ft but with a shorter period, so get on that morning session.
After that, it fades again. Monday the 31st has some SSE swell at 3 ft but it lacks the punch and the wind gets a bit firmer. The first of September and beyond looks like we're back to the small stuff.
So the call is clear: the whole 16-day forecast is a write-off except for that Sunday morning. If you've got a log, you might find a dribble on a few of the glassy mornings, but for a real wave, set your alarm for the 30th of August at Asling's. That's the only game in town.
Rusty.

Information about the Asling's Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Asling's Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Asling's Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Asling's 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 (Asling's 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 Asling's 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.
