Asling's Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s see what we’ve got cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the outlook ahead is a bit of a flat spell for the most part. We’ve got a big pulse of swell hitting this Sunday morning, but after that the energy really drops off and things get quiet for a long stretch. The water temp is sittin’ at 60°F, which is pretty much right on the money for this time of year, no surprises there.

Asling’s Beach is our only break in the mix, and it’s a sheltered little beginner-friendly spot that breaks fairly consistent. The standout is undeniably Sunday morning, 5th July. We’ve got a solid 10ft swell rollin’ in from the south, with a period of 12 seconds — that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is huge at 3534, so there’s plenty of push. It’s a cross-shore wind though, blowin’ 12 mph from the SSW, which will put a bit of a bump on it. Still, for size and power, that’s the most interesting window we’ve got. That said, at 10ft this is only suited to experienced surfers — beginners should sit this one out. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out.

From Sunday afternoon onward, things start to drop. Monday the 6th has 5ft swell but the conditions are poor, and the cross-onshore wind is messy. Tuesday is similar, with 5ft to 6ft but choppy and cross-onshore again. On Wednesday morning the 8th we get a little clean-up with WSW winds 9 mph going cross-offshore and 5ft swell from the southeast — still small, but the cleanest conditions in that first week. The energy is moderate at 641.

After that, the surf fades fast. Thursday the 9th morning is glassy with 4ft swell, but it’s weak, and there’s not enough push to get excited. Friday the 10th morning is glassy again with 4ft and a 11-second period, but the energy is low at 345. Saturday the 11th is tiny at 3ft, and from Sunday the 12th onward we’re into a real flat spell with swell under 3ft and combined energy dropping below 100 most days. From the 13th of July right through to the 20th, there’s hardly any surfable swell — just scraps. It’s a long gap with no real recommendations, so if you’re keen, make the most of that Sunday morning window early on.

For the second week, there's nothing worth paddling out for. A few clean mornings with tiny knee-high waves but no power to speak of. This stretch looks more suited to a flat day stroll than a surf.

Keep an eye on the forecasts, though — this area tends not to stay poor for too long.

Rusty.
