The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Alnes Lighthouse. I gotta be straight with you, it's a bit of a mixed bag, and I'm not seeing any real standouts that'll have you calling in sick.

The overall pattern is tough. For the first few days, we're looking at small, weak swell and wonky winds. The good news is that by Tuesday morning, September 1st, things clean up with glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny at 3ft from the NNW. It's a bit of a tease. The water temp is sitting at 58°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest wetsuit.

We finally get a pulse of energy on Wednesday, September 2nd, with a massive 13ft swell from the WSW, but it's hit with a near gale cross-shore wind. That's a no-go. The energy is off the charts (3341), but it's a mess. The rest of that first week and into the second is filled with moderate to fresh cross-shore breezes and lumpy conditions, with only a few brief windows of clean surf on small, weak swells.

The closest we get to something worthwhile is around Monday, September 7th and Tuesday, September 8th. Monday morning sees a solid 10ft groundswell from the WSW with clean, cross-offshore winds, but the energy is strong (1827). That's expert territory, and it's a point break, so it might be handling that size better than a beach. The caveat is a lot of rain and the wind cranking up later in the day. Tuesday morning has a similar setup with an 12ft swell from the NW, but again, it's for the experienced crew only.

Later in the window, on the 14th of September, there's another big pulse of 12ft swell from the WSW, but it's cross-onshore, so it'll be a choppy mess. Honestly, for the next 16 days, there's nothing I'd call a solid winner. The consistent wind issues and the fact that most of the bigger swells get trashed by the wind mean you're better off waiting for a better forecast.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
