Alright, let’s switch it to feet and miles. For Alnes Lighthouse, it’s a tale of two weeks – a long dry spell and then one killer window.
From Friday 10th July, it’s pretty grim. Wind is a constant cross or cross-onshore, making a mess of the small surf that’s around. You’re looking at a solid 10-day gap with nothing really worth your time. It’s a quiet period.
The first slight improvement hits Wednesday 15th July afternoon. The wind goes glassy, and we have a 3ft swell from the WNW, period 11 seconds. The energy’s moderate (240), and it’s described as surfable. For a point break, that longer period should give a decent ride, but it’s really just a warm-up.
Now, the real action is Monday 20th July. The morning brings a 8ft swell from the NNW, period 9 seconds. That’s a big wave, 8ft is pushing expert-only water. The energy is strong (755), and the wind is a light cross-shore. Not perfect, but it’s the *afternoon* that’s the standout. The wind goes glassy, the swell drops just a touch to 7ft from the N, still 9 seconds, but with that glassy surface it’ll be pristine. Energy is still very strong (697). That’s the session to save for. Over a week away, so it’s promising but not locked in. For a point break, a 7ft glassy groundswell from the N is as clean as it gets. Water temp is about 54°F – that’s normal for this time of year, so just your usual thick suit.
After Monday 20th, it falls apart again. Tuesday sees a cold rain and messy wind, and the rest of the run is back to cross-shore junk.
The call is simple: skip the first week and a half. The only real standout is Monday 20th July afternoon at Alnes Lighthouse – that glassy 7ft N swell is the clear winner. Everything else is a pass.
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.

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.
