Asling's Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a proper look at what’s comin’ through for Asling’s Beach (Australia).

Truth be told, the next sixteen days are a bit of a flat spell. There’s not a whole lot of energy pushin’ in, and what does show up is mostly small and pretty average. The first real sniff of anything worth wettin’ a suit for doesn’t pop up until the afternoon of August 13th – that’s about a week of quiet, tiny waves and light winds. You’ll be starin’ at a lot of clean, glassy water, but barely a ripple of swell to ride.

Now, from August 14th onward, we see a little more life. Mornin’ of the 14th has surfable waves – nothing to write home about, but at least you can paddle out. The swell hits about 0.8 ft out of the south, period around 8 seconds, with a light W cross-off breeze. That means clean lines, even if the energy is only moderate (134). The combined energy has moved into three-digit territory, so there’s a bit more push than the days before, but it’s still not big.

The main standout window is the afternoon of August 13th, but I gotta be honest – that one is messy. You get a jump in swell height to 5 ft from the SSW, period only 6 seconds, which means short, lumpy, wind-affected lines. The combined energy is 167, so there’s moderate wave energy, but the fresh WSW breeze at 19 mph makes it look more like a kiteboarder’s session than a paddle surfer’s. Clean-ish conditions, but that wind and short period don’t do the break any favours.

After that, the trend returns to small – 2 ft, 2 ft sorts of days with light breezes and occasional glass. The 15th of August has a glassy afternoon with 2 ft SSE swell and calm-ish wind, but the swell period is short at 8 seconds, so the waves will be a bit fat and weak. No real power behind ’em.

As for the water, it’s about normal for this time of year – sitting at 60°F with a tiny anomaly, so nothing out of the ordinary there.

Overall, there’s no standout session in this outlook. The best bet is probably the morning of the 14th of August for a clean, small longboard wave if you’re desperate. But if you’re after any real size or power, you’re gonna be waitin’. It’s one of those quiet stretches for the area – forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope, but right now, it’s pretty slim pickin’s.

Rusty.
