The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here, talkin' imperial. Let’s see what’s shakin’.

The first wave you can actually sit on is Wednesday, July 29th, early morning at Alnes Lighthouse. The water temp is 57°, which is right where it should be for the time of year. The swell is a small 3ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 151. The wind is light from the ESE at 3 mph, which is basically still air. That’s giving us clean, glassy conditions. But it’s a short window—by the afternoon, the wind cranks to the SW, the rain moves in, and it’s game over.

The rest of the first week is mostly a rough patch. Thursday afternoon shows a brief moment of glassy NE wind, with a 4ft swell from the W, but the energy is only 222, and it’s just ordinary. We get a few mornings with clean-ish south wind, but the swell is inconsistent and the wind is strong. Friday through the weekend get hammered by fresh SW winds, rain, and messy cross-chop. The swell gets bigger, but it’s just not surfable.

The one true standout is later on, Friday, August 7th. By the afternoon, it’s glassy with a light NW wind, and we’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a decent 504, so there’s some push behind it. That’s the biggest, cleanest wave we’ll see in the whole 16-day run. This is a point break, so a short period is fine; expect a punchy, steeper face. Crowds are possible here, so keep your eyes open.

After that, the second week is a dud. The wind shifts to the NE, the swell drops off fast, and by the 10th, we’re looking at knee-high leftovers. The 12th and 13th show a big pulse of swell, with heights over 7ft and combined energy of 783 and 846, but the wind is howling from the NE at 18-25 mph, creating a messy, lumpy cross-chop. That’s kiteboarding stuff, not surfing.

So, the only one to get excited about is the afternoon of Friday, August 7th at Alnes Lighthouse. Get it while it’s good.

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.
