Table - best surf conditions forecast for Alnes Lighthouse over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m calling it how I see it: the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. From now right through to the 21st of July, the conditions are just not cooperating. We’ve got a persistent run of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, mainly from the north-northeast, which is not the clean offshore direction we want for Alnes Lighthouse. The swell is small and weak, with the combined wave energy mostly sitting in the low to mid 100-200 range (257 to 104), which is pretty weak in the water. The morning of the 16th of July will give you a glassy window, but with only 2ft of weak swell (85), it’s barely even a ripple. That’s a long gap of really poor quality surf.
Now, hold on to your boards, because the outlook changes on the 22nd of July. That Wednesday morning is the standout window. We’re looking at a solid 6ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 8 seconds, but the combined energy jumps to 496 (moderate energy). The key here is the clean, cross-off wind from the SSW at 9 mph. That’s prime for a point break like Alnes Lighthouse. The swell direction is north-northwest, which is a bit off from the optimum northwest, but it’s still a decent match, and the wind will make it glassy. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The Wednesday afternoon is a no-go – that 25 mph west-southwest wind will trash it. But on the 25th of July, Saturday morning, we’ve got another really promising session. The swell is a big 7ft from the west-northwest, with a 10-second period and a combined energy of 901 (strong energy). The wind is a light 6 mph from the east-northeast, giving us clean, cross-off conditions. This one is a standout for the bigger-wave crew. Keep in mind, at 7ft, this is expert territory and not for the faint of heart.
So, the best bets are the morning of the 22nd of July for a solid, clean session, and the morning of the 25th of July for the bigger, more powerful groundswell.
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.
