Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s be real: the Alnes Lighthouse zone is in a rough patch right now. A lot of blown-out, messy days ahead with not much to get excited about.
The one day that’s worth settin’ the alarm for is Tuesday morning, July 8th. We’re lookin’ at a 5ft northwest swell, a light offshore breeze, and the wave energy is moderate (296). It’ll be clean and lined up for the intermediate surfer. Water’s about 56°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The rest of the first week is a write-off. Cross-shore winds, lumpy conditions, and tiny, weak swell. You’ll see a couple of glassy mornings around the 10th and 11th, but the swell is pitiful – 2ft to 3ft with no grunt. Not worth the wetsuit.
Lookin’ into the second week, Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th have some glassy conditions again with 5ft and 4ft of north swell, but it’s short-period stuff (6-7 seconds). It’ll be soft and inconsistent. It’s a paddle, but it ain’t a performance wave.
Bottom line: you’ve got one real shot on the 8th. After that, it’s a whole lot of waitin’ and watchin’.

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.
