The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us at Alnes Lighthouse.

We’ve got a proper mixed bag coming our way. The week starts off promising enough, but then things get a bit wild and woolly before a truly epic window opens up deep in the forecast. The water temp is sitting at a pretty standard 55°, so right on the money for this time of year—no surprises there.

Kicking things off on Monday the 14th, it’s a solid start. We’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the NNW with a 10-second period. The wind is glassy out of the ENE, and the energy is moderate (566). It’ll be a clean, fun afternoon.

Tuesday the 15th keeps the stoke alive. The morning sees 4ft from the west with a cross-off breeze, and the afternoon cleans right up with glassy conditions from the SE and a similar 4ft west swell. Both sessions are looking good.

Wednesday the 16th takes a nosedive. A cross-on nor'westerly kicks up, and while the swell bumps to 5ft in the afternoon, the period drops to a weak 6 seconds with 343 energy. It’s choppy and messy—leave the board on the car for this one.

Thursday the 17th is a nice rebound. A clean 4ft NNW swell with a light SSE breeze in the morning, and a 4ft northerly swell with a side-shore easterly in the afternoon. Both windows are clean and worth a paddle.

Now, Friday the 18th is where we get our first real standout. The morning session is firing with a 8ft west swell and a long 15-second period (2653). The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW, making for some proper clean, powerful lines. This is expert territory at that size, but for those with the skill, it’s going to be magic.

The afternoon though, gets chewed up by a strong 19 mph cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions. That window is a write-off.

Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th are a mess. Saturday morning has 7ft but strong 15 mph winds, and the afternoon gets hammered by 28 mph gusts and 10ft slop. Sunday is an absolute no-go with 15ft swell and near-gale force winds creating a dangerous, cross-shore washing machine. Energy readings are through the roof (4929) but there’s zero quality.

The start of the next week, Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd, stays marginal. We’ve got 8ft and 7ft west swells but with fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy chop. Not worth the effort.

Then, the real prize. Thursday the 24th. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at an absolutely pumping 20ft to 21ft west-northwest swell with a long 13 to 14-second period. The combined energy is insane—over 13,600. But the key here is the wind. Thursday afternoon goes offshore with a light 9 mph breeze from the SSE. That's offshore and clean, creating epic, massive walls for expert surfers only. This is a true, big-wave standout session. Do not miss it if you’ve got the nerves.

After that, Friday the 25th through to the end of the period on Tuesday the 29th is a write-off. More massive winds, cross-on conditions, and lumpy, dangerous surf. There’s a window on the 27th with a small 4ft onshore NW swell, but the period is short and the conditions are poor.

So to wrap it up: this week has some fun clean days, the real gold is the massive, clean groundswell hitting on Thursday the 24th. That's the session.

Rusty out.

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.
