Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk Alnes Lighthouse in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a grim outlook, plain and simple. The first week-plus is mostly a write-off, with only one tiny window of surfable waves before we finally see something with a pulse around the 14th of July.
On Friday afternoon, the 10th of July, the wind goes glassy from the southwest, and there’s a weak 3ft swell from the west with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is only 159, so don’t expect any punch. It’s surfable but very ordinary. That’s the best of the first week.
The real highlight, if you can call it that, comes on Tuesday morning, the 14th of July. A 8ft swell rolls in from the west with a 9-second period, and the energy shoots up to 880. The wind is clean and cross-offshore from the SSW, which is perfect for this SE-facing spot. It’s rated “marginal,” but it’s by far the best we’ve got. That’s intermediate-level surf, so beginners might want to sit this one out. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
After that, it’s back to messy cross-shore winds and chop. Nothing else in the forecast really fires up. It’s a long dry spell for this break.
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.
