The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got coming up for Alnes Lighthouse.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is pretty grim. The water temp is sittin’ around 57°F, pretty normal for this time of year, but the surf just ain’t cooperating. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and mostly cross-shore winds messin’ things up.

From Thursday 27 August through the weekend, it’s a total washout. We’re talkin’ ankle-snappers at best, with wave heights barely hittin’ 1ft and combined energy at a pathetic 34 (weak). The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-shore, and the forecast is just a bunch of “poor surf conditions”. Not worth paddling out. Saturday 30 August sees a bump up to 4ft swell, but it’s a messy windswell with a short 8 second period and moderate cross-shore winds killin’ any chance of shape.

Monday 31 August is the first glimmer – a glassy morning with a 4ft swell from NNW, energy at 169 (moderate). It’s still a short 7 second period and the waves are just “surfable but very ordinary”. You might get a couple, but don’t expect any magic. Tuesday and Wednesday after that are back to poor conditions.

Come Thursday 3 September, we get another glassy window in the morning with 4ft swell and energy of 213 (moderate). Still short period, but clean and glassy is always a plus. Friday 4 September is also glassy in the morning, but with a small 2ft swell from WSW at a nice long 10 seconds. Energy is 169 – it’s small, but that longer period means the few sets that come through might have a bit of shape.

Now, here’s where it starts to get interesting. Sunday 6 September morning – glassy again, with a 10 second, 4ft swell from W and combined energy at 346 (moderate). This is flagged as “expect good surf conditions”. Early birds are gonna get the cleanest peaks, but the afternoon turns messy with cross-onshore wind.

The real standouts are in the second week, so mark your calendars. Thursday 10 September is the one to circle. We’re lookin’ at a solid 8ft to 8ft swell from NNW, combin’ energy of 734-804 (strong). And the wind? Offshore from the SE, with moderate to gentle breezes. That’s clean, open faces at this point break. This is expert territory – over 8ft gets gnarly, but this sits right in the sweet spot for strong intermediate to expert surfers. Expect some proper, powerful waves.

Friday 11 September is also no slouch. Mornin’ starts glassy with 7ft swell from NNW, then the afternoon goes clean with a cross-offshore breeze and 7ft swell at 9 seconds. Energy is still 624-782 (strong to very strong). Don’t sleep on the Friday either.

Be warned, though – Alnes Lighthouse (Norway) is rated as a point break, and it’s exposed enough. The crowds are listed as “sometimes”, so you might have some company on these standout days, especially when the conditions are this good.

The long-range stuff is promising, but as always, keep an eye on the charts. Forecasts change. For now, suffer through the flat spell, and get ready for that Thursday. That’s the real winner.

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.
