The Lowdown
Alright, let me break this down for the next couple of weeks for Alnes Lighthouse. This point break sees a bit of swell, so we’ll see what’s on the menu.
Right off the bat, from Wednesday the 26th through the first week, it’s pretty dead with tiny, weak waves around 1 to 3 feet. The combined swell energy is low, stuff like 163 or even down to 13. The wind is mostly light, sometimes glassy, but the swell just isn't there. Honestly, for the first few days, you’re better off doing something else. There’s a big gap from the 26th of August right through the 29th, and even into the 30th, where the surf is just poor and not worth the paddle. The 30th does see a bump in energy to 216 with a 4-foot swell, but the wind is a lumpy fresh breeze, making it messy.
Now, let’s get to the good stuff. Tuesday, the 1st of September, is your first real standout morning. The swell hits 5 feet from the WSW with a 9-second period and the wind is offshore out of the SE at 12 mph. The combined energy climbs to 487, a solid moderate push. That offshore flow will clean it right up, making for some proper, surfable lines at this point. This is the best of the first week, hands down.
Hold on for the 4th of September, Friday morning. This is the big one. The swell jumps to a powerful 11 feet from the WSW with a 13-second period – that’s long-period groundswell full of energy. The combined swell energy is a massive 3974, which is very strong. The wind is glassy from the S at just 3 mph, making for excellent conditions. This is a serious swell, only for experienced surfers who know this point break. The long period will wrap in nicely here, offering some proper, powerful lines. The 3rd of September morning also looks good with clean 4-foot surf from a glassy ESE breeze and 364 energy.
The following days see the swell dropping back, with the 7th of September morning offering a clean, shoulder-high wave around 5 feet and the wind light from the SSE. The energy is still decent at 427. After that, the forecast gets a bit messy and inconsistent again, with plenty of wind and chop.
So, to sum it up: the start is a total dud, but you’ve got two real windows. The first standout is the clean, offshore morning of the 1st of September. The absolute king of the forecast is the 4th of September morning – big, clean, and powerful. Get on it if you’ve got the skills. The second week is a bit of a mixed bag with smaller windows.
Stay salty.

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.
