The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. I gotta be straight with ya – the next two weeks at Asling's Beach are looking pretty grim for a surf. The start of the period is a total washout, with bugger-all swell and shifty winds. It's a real flat spell, and we're stuck with it for a while.
We get a tiny pulse on the 19th of August, Wednesday morning. The swell comes in at 3ft from the ENE with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is 114 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the NNE, keeping the surface smooth, but the waves are weak and crumbly. It's surfable, but it's nothing to get excited about. The wind picks up to 16 mph later, making it even worse.
For the rest of the week, it's just tiny, messy surf. There's a slight uptick on the 27th and 28th of August. The 27th sees a building SSE swell, hitting 3ft by the afternoon with a 10-second period and a combined energy of 205 (strong). But the wind is cross-shore, creating a lumpy chop. On the morning of the 28th, we get glassy conditions with the same 3ft SSE swell and a combined energy of 183 (strong). The water temp is about normal for this time of year, but the conditions are just "surfable but very ordinary." The onshore wind in the afternoon will kill it again.
The only real standout, and I mean the only one, is the morning of the 31st of August. The swell is a modest 3ft from the East with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is 97 (weak to moderate). The wind is light and cross-off from the NNE, making for clean, tidy waves. It's not going to be epic, but it'll be the most user-friendly wave we've seen in weeks. The period is a bit short, so it'll be slow, but it's the best bet for a longboard or a funboard. After a long, stagnant period, this is the morning to have a crack.
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.
Asling's Beach is 2 km (1 miles) from Eden. If you plan a holiday in Far South New South Wales, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eden. Eden has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
