The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty. Look, I've been staring at the charts for Asling's Beach and, to be honest, it's a pretty grim outlook for the next 16 days. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing special, with the first real chance of a surfable wave not showing up until Friday the 28th of August. Before that, we've got a solid two-week gap of tiny, weak, or messy conditions. Don't get your hopes up.
Alright, so starting from Wednesday the 19th, it's a write-off. Tiny 1 ft ESE swell with a moderate breeze, then it jumps to 6 ft on Wednesday arvo but with a nasty 6-second period and a fresh NNE wind – that's just a messy, blown-out churn. The energy is weak (52), then moderate (255), but the quality is zero. Thursday and Friday are the same story: flat, with barely a ripple. Even the glassy conditions on Friday morning with a 0.3 ft SE swell are just too small to do anything with.
The whole second week of August is a bust. The 26th of August throws up a 7 ft S swell, but it's accompanied by a strong 16 mph S cross-onshore wind. The energy is strong (664), but the surf quality is described as poor – that's a big, lumpy, onshore mess. Too big for beginners and not fun for anyone else.
Finally, we get a glimmer on Friday the 28th of August. The morning shows a 4 ft SE swell with a decent 11-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (261). It's labelled as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," scoring a 1 out of 10. It's not a standout, but it's the only window in the whole 16 days that's even worth looking at. The water temp is about 60°F, which is average for this time of year.
After that, it's back to the same old story. The 31st of August morning has a small 3 ft SE swell with glassy winds and a weak energy (104), but it's tiny. The 1st of September morning has a 4 ft SE swell with a good 11-second period and a light cross-offshore wind, which is clean. The energy is moderate (267). Again, it's labelled "ordinary." It's a choice between the least bad options.
Honestly, for a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a rare blank run. There's nothing to get excited about. If you're desperate, the morning of the 28th of August is your best bet for a clean, small wave. But otherwise, keep the board in the bag.
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.
