Table - best surf conditions forecast for Alnes Lighthouse over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the table for Alnes Lighthouse.
The first week is a struggle. The wind is all wrong, coming across the waves and making a mess of things. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year. The first decent chance is Thursday, July 16th. The morning is glassy with a slight breeze, and the swell is 3ft from the WNW at 8 seconds. The energy is low (122), but it’s clean. The afternoon is also glassy, with a 2ft swell. It’s nothing special, but it’s the only clean window you’ll get for a few days. After that, the wind picks up, and it’s all chop and lumpy conditions. On the 19th of July, the swell jumps to 6ft to 7ft, but it’s short-period from the NNE with fresh cross-shore winds. That’s a windy, bumpy mess – better for kite gear than a surfboard.
The one to wait for, the real standout, is Sunday, July 26th. That morning is glassy, with a 4ft swell from the WNW at 9 seconds, and moderate energy (365). It’s clean, it’s got some push, and the point break will handle it well. The optimum direction is NW, and this is close enough. Crowds are a possibility here, so expect some company. That’s your best bet.
Bottom line: Thursday July 16th for a clean, small wave, and Sunday July 26th for the best session.
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.
