Alright, let’s talk about the forecast. The first decent chance we get is Saturday the 25th, and that’s the standout for the whole run. We’re looking at Alnes Lighthouse, a point break that’s fairly exposed to the swell. Saturday morning, the wind is light and offshore from the SE, which is perfect. It’s going to be clean. The swell is 6ft from the W with a 9-second period, and the combined wave energy is moderate at 528. It’s not huge, but it’s got shape. Saturday afternoon stays good with a 5ft swell and clean offshore winds, dropping to 404 energy. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Sunday the 26th is a no-go. The wind swings strong and cross-off or cross, and the swell gets messy. The energy jumps up to over 1100, but it’s poor quality—lumpy and cross-chop.
Monday and Tuesday the 27th and 28th are a write-off. The wind is strong and cross, and the swell is either too small or too messy. Tuesday morning has a tiny 3ft swell with 291 energy, but it’s cross-shore and choppy.
The next real chance pops up way out on the 4th of August, Tuesday morning. Alnes Lighthouse gets a 6ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a short 6 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. Energy is 272, moderate. The short period means it’ll be a bit fat and less powerful, but it’s surfable. Tuesday afternoon the wind goes cross, killing the quality.
Beyond that, it’s a long stretch of small, weak, or blown-out surf. There’s a gap from late July right through until that Tuesday the 4th, and then it drops off again. The 5th of August has some glassy conditions but the swell is only 3ft, not enough to get excited about.
So, the one to circle is Saturday the 25th. Get out there in the morning. It’s your best shot.

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.
