The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's on offer for the Alnes Lighthouse region.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you, the surf outlook is pretty grim for the next week or so. Lookin' at the charts, we're sitting through a whole lot of nothing. For the first batch of days, from late August right through the start of September, it’s all tiny, weak waves with shitty, messy winds. We're talking waves barely over a foot with lousy cross-shore and cross-onshore breezes. The first real pulse of energy doesn't start to show up until Tuesday the 2nd of September, but even then the conditions are just plain ordinary or worse. There’s a little spike in energy on the Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September, but it gets ruined by a solid cross-offshore wind and then a howling cross-shore in the arvo.
We then hit a dead zone again for a few days after that. The real standout for the whole 16-day window is shaping up to be the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. On that morning, a new pulse of swell arrives from the N with a height of 6 ft and a period of 9 seconds, showing moderate wave energy (635). The best part? The wind switches to a light SSW breeze, giving us a cross-offshore flow that will make the take-offs at this point break nice and clean. It won't be perfect all day, as some rain showers and a bit of a cross-chop appear in the afternoon, but that morning window is your best bet for a proper session.
Don't get too excited about the big numbers that show up on the 7th and 8th of September. You'll see an 12 ft swell with over 1900 combined energy, but the wind is a messy cross-shore or cross-onshore gale. With that much size and that much wind on a beach or point setup, that's kite-surfing territory, not for a paddle surfer. The SE offshore wind on the morning of the 12th of September will make for some clean lines, but the swell is only 3 ft and the energy is low, so it's just a little fun-size wave.
So, to sum it up: it's a lean stretch for most of the next two weeks. Don't bother paddling out until the 9th of September morning. That's the one to circle on the calendar. It's a way off, so keep an eye on the charts as it gets closer, but for now, that's the only real stand-out session on the cards.
Later, Rusty.

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.
