Alright, Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise and look at what's going on.

Honestly, the first week and a half is a total dud for Alnes Lighthouse (point break). The wind is a constant cross-shore hassle, and the wave energy is pathetic, with combined energy barely cracking 100 for most of it. You're not missing a thing.

The one and only window that looks any good is Wednesday, July 22nd. The morning is showing a 2.3m (8ft) swell from the NNE, with a light cross-offshore wind from the SSW that's supposed to keep it clean. The energy jumps up to `577`, which is a solid push. That's your shot. The wave period is a short 7 seconds, so it's a bit of a jumbled windswell, but it's the only real option on the table. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. The size is only for the experts, though. The crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might have a few others with the same idea.

After that, it's back to the doldrums. The 24th has a glimmer with glassy conditions, but the wave size is tiny. The rest of the month is a mess of onshore winds and fading energy.

The bottom line: save your energy for the 22nd of July. That's your one genuine chance. Everything else is a bust.

Rusty.

Information about the Alnes Lighthouse Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Alnes Lighthouse provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Alnes Lighthouse can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Alnes Lighthouse 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 (Alnes Lighthouse) 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 Alnes Lighthouse 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.
