Asling's Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch of coast is looking pretty quiet over the next couple of weeks. There’s just one spot on the radar, Asling's Beach, and even it’s barely offering a whisper. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the first real surf doesn’t show up until the very end, and even then it’s nothing to write home about. Expect a lot of flat days in between.

The water temp here is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. Not that it’ll matter much, because you’ll be spending more time staring at a flat ocean than paddling.

Alright, let’s break it down. From now through the end of August, there’s nothing worth getting wet for. We’re talking tiny dribbles, mostly under 2 ft, with short, weak periods and a mix of cross-shore or onshore winds. The combined wave energy is barely registering—often in the teens or twenties, sometimes a bit higher but still weak. It’s just poor, flat, or messy. There’s a stretch from the 13th to the 25th where you’ll be lucky to find a wave over 3 ft. The winds do get glassy or clean on a few mornings, like the 14th and 17th, but there’s just no swell to work with.

Then, on the 26th of August, things start to wake up. The Wednesday morning brings a 5 ft swell from the SSW, with a short 5-second period, and a fresh cross-shore wind from the SW at 19 mph. The combined energy jumps to 281 (moderate), but that wind is going to chop it up. By the afternoon, it’s 4 ft from the SSE with an 11-second period, and the energy climbs to 403 (strong), but the wind is still cross-shore. That’s expert-only territory—too big, messy, and the wind’s not right. The 27th and 28th settle down a bit, with 2 ft swells, but the wind is cross or onshore, so it’s not clean.

Honestly, the only standout—if you can call it that—is the 23rd of August, Sunday afternoon. We get a 5 ft swell from the NE with a 6-second period, and the wind is cross-offshore from the WNW at 9 mph. The combined energy is 137 (moderate). It’s clean, but the swell is short-period and not huge. For a beginner, that’s a bit too much, but for an intermediate, it might be rideable. The break is sheltered and fairly consistent, but it’s a beach break, and the crowds are sometimes there. It’s not world-class, but it’s the best we’ve got.

For the rest, it’s a waiting game. The 25th and 26th show some energy, but the wind is a problem. The 26th morning is the biggest, but it’s also the messiest. If you’re an expert, you might find something on the 26th afternoon, but it’s not going to be pretty.

So, to sum it up: the 23rd afternoon is your best bet for a clean-ish session, but don’t expect much. The 26th is for experts only, and everything else is flat or poor. It’s a tough run, but you know how it goes—sometimes the ocean just needs a nap.

Rusty.
