Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for this stretch of coast. Honestly, it's a bit of a slow burn, so don't get your hopes up for anything too exciting for a while.

We're looking at a solid run of small, messy conditions kicking off Sunday the 12th. The swell is tiny, around 3ft from the WNW with a weak period, and a cross-shore wind is chopping it all up. The water temp is sitting at 55°, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is a weak 106, and it just doesn't look worth paddling out for. This pattern of poor surf and cross-shore breezes sticks around right through the week and into the next. We're talking day after day of small, weak swell and lumpy conditions. There's a brief moment on the afternoon of Friday the 17th where the wind goes glassy, but with a swell of only 1ft, it's barely a ripple. It's a tough stretch.

We're looking at a gap of nearly two solid weeks of nothing really worth a mention. The first real glimmer of something more interesting doesn't show up until Thursday the 23rd, and even then it's rough. The swell finally builds, but it's accompanied by strong winds and rain. That afternoon, the swell jumps to 8ft from the north, and the combined energy rockets up to 1058, which is a lot of power. But with a strong cross-shore breeze, it's just a messy, lumpy beast. Too big for beginners for sure, and not clean enough to be fun for anyone else.

The only standout in this entire 16-day window, and I mean the *only* one, is the morning of Friday the 24th. Alnes Lighthouse is the spot to keep an eye on. The swell is a solid 7ft from the north, with a moderate 9-second period. The wind finally plays ball, turning cross-offshore and cleaning things up. The combined energy is a strong 755, so there's plenty of grunt in the water. This is a big, powerful swell, well over 8ft, so this is strictly for experts only. The point break setup at Alnes Lighthouse should handle this size and direction well, offering some proper rights. It's a fairly exposed spot, so it'll cop the brunt of the swell. Just keep in mind that crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so you might have some company. This is the one to aim for if you've got the skills and the hunger.

After that brief window, it's back to small, weak, and windy for the rest of the forecast period. So, if you're looking for a wave, make a plan for that Friday morning session. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.

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.
