Asling's Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, let’s talk about what’s happening at Asling's Beach. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this next couple of weeks looks pretty bleak for getting a decent wave. We’ve got a long stretch of next to nothing on the cards.

We kick things off on Tuesday the 25th of August with a tiny 0.3ft SSE swell. The water's sitting at 60°, which is about normal for this time of year. Don't even bother paddling out; it’s just flat and messy with a glassy surface but zero energy.

Wednesday the 26th sees a bump in wind, but the swell is a weak 2ft from the south. The cross-shore breeze just chops it up. Thursday the 27th isn't much better with a 2ft south swell and onshore winds in the afternoon.

Now, there’s a little flicker of hope on Friday morning the 28th of August. We get a glassy, clean start with a 4ft SE groundswell. The wave energy bumps up to a moderate 251. The wind is offshore and light as can be. It's surfable, but the quality is ordinary. It’s your best shot in this whole forecast.

Saturday the 29th of August morning is another glass-off, but with only 2ft of swell, the wave energy drops (141), so it’s a bit weak.

After that, it’s back to the doldrums. We have days of tiny swells (0.7ft to 2ft) with a mix of clean conditions but no power. The period on the 30th of August afternoon hits 18 seconds with 1ft swell (137 energy), which sounds promising, but it's an onshore wind and the swell is just too small to hold it open.

There’s a long gap of nothing worthwhile until Sunday the 6th of September and Monday the 7th of September. The 7th of September morning offers a 2ft SSE groundswell with a clean, moderate offshore breeze. The energy is still weak (62), so it's only a tiny wave, but it'll be clean.

Honestly, the only time the waves are even big enough for a beginner is on the 28th of August, and it's still just knee-high. The rest is for the longboard or the swim fins.

Stay patient, folks. This stretch is a write-off.
