Asling's Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Asling's Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch looks pretty bleak. There’s a massive gap at the start with no real surf to get excited about. We’re talking days and days of tiny, weak, or messy conditions. The first week is basically a write-off. The swell is small, the wind is often cross or cross-off, and the energy is just pathetic. You won’t see anything worth paddling out for until the very end of the period.

The only real standout, and I’m using that term loosely, is the very last day: Sunday, 16 August. That morning, the swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSE with a period of 12 seconds, and combined energy of 365 (moderate). The wind is glass – dead calm – so it’ll be clean as a whistle. The afternoon sees a little more size at 4ft from the SSE, still with decent period, and wind is cross-offshore from the NNE. That’s about as good as it gets. The swell is still small, but for a sheltered spot, that could be a fun little session. Don’t expect barrels, but you might get a few clean lines.

The rest of the forecast? Trash. The Monday before that, 14 August, has a weird blip of a 21 second period swell, but it’s tiny at 1ft and onshore – that’s more of a science experiment than a surf. The week before that is all tiny, weak, or windy junk. If you’re a beginner, the water temp is about 60°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no shock there. Just don’t expect to catch anything.

This is a spot that’s fairly consistent, but the forecast just isn’t delivering. It won’t stay poor forever, but for now, I’d save your energy. The only real chance is that Sunday the 16th. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
