Table - best surf conditions forecast for Alnes Lighthouse over the next 16 days.
G'day, Rusty here. Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty grim stretch for a paddle. We’re looking at Alnes Lighthouse, and while it’s a point break that usually handles a bit of swell, the wind just won’t play ball for most of it. The water’s sitting at 55°, which is about as normal as it gets for this time of year, but that’s where the good news ends.
The first proper chance doesn’t turn up until Thursday the 16th, and even then, it’s marginal. By the afternoon, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW, with a light breeze keeping things clean. The combined energy is only 96, so it’s weak, but at least the cross-off wind gives you a chance to snag a few crumbly ones. It’s not a standout, just a sigh of relief after nothing.
We then hit a real dead patch. Friday the 17th through to Tuesday the 22nd is pretty much a write-off with messy winds and bumpy conditions. The swell tries to bump up a bit on Wednesday the 22nd – we see 5ft from the west, but the combined energy hits 406, which is solid, but it’s onshore and messy. That size is pushing intermediate limits, and with the wind smashing it, it’s more of a blown-out mess than a session.
The real highlight, and the only one I’d circle on your calendar, is Monday the 20th in the morning. We get a glassy 2ft from the NW, and the combined energy is 110. It’s small, sure, but with glassy conditions on a point break, you’ll get clean, long lines. It’s not a big day, but it’s the cleanest window in a pretty average run.
Late in the window, Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th offer some hope with clean, cross-off winds and small waist-high waves around 3ft to 4ft from the WNW and WSW. The energy is low, 82 to 142, so it’s all about trim and glide. Sunday the 26th is a write-off again.
Best on offer? Monday the 20th morning, hands down. It’s small but glassy perfection for a point break. The other clean windows on the 24th and 25th are worth a look if you’re desperate.
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.
