The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
Honestly, looking at the next couple of weeks, we are in for a proper flat spell. The surf’s going to be tiny and pretty ordinary for the most part. The first real chance of anything resembling a wave doesn’t come until the 30th of August, so we’re looking at a solid two-week gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell energy is weak for the vast majority of that time, with readings mostly in the low double digits, like 15 to 70, and a lot of sub-3ft slop. There’s a brief pulse mid-period on the 25th where the energy jumps to 258 and 348, but it’s messy, cross-shore winds, and the swell is still only around 4ft to 4ft. That’s not going to save the week.
The first standout, and really the only one we can talk about with any real hope, is the morning of the 30th of August at Asling’s Beach. The swell will be pushing 4ft from the east with a short, 6-second period. The energy reading hits 101, which is a step up from the weak stuff we’ve been seeing. The wind will be light and cross-off from the north-northeast, which will keep the surface clean. It’s not going to be a classic, but after all that nothing, it’ll feel good to get wet. The water temp is sitting at 59°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The Monday morning after that, the 31st, has a similar vibe. Still 4ft of east swell, and the energy is up at 135. Winds are light cross-off again, which is a plus. It’s going to be clean but small, and with that short period, the beach break here might be a bit walled. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so if you’re just starting out, this could be alright. The swell direction is from the east, and the guidance says this break likes it from the southeast, so it’s not quite ideal.
Don't expect much else. The whole run is marked as "poor surf conditions" right up until those last few days, and even then, it's just "surfable but very ordinary." There’s nothing big, no long-period groundswell to get excited about. For a sheltered spot like this, the lack of size is normal, but a full fortnight of it is pretty grim. We just have to get through the flat and hope the forecasts shift in the long run. It tends not to stay this poor for long around here.

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.
