The Lowdown
Alright, my fellow wave hunters. Rusty's back with the lowdown on Alnes Lighthouse. It's a point break that loves a NW groundswell, and the next couple of weeks are a bit of a slow burn.
We're looking at a real dry spell to kick things off. The first time you could even consider paddling out is Thursday, the 27th of August, and even then, it's just barely surfable. Before that, it's days of onshore chop and flat water. The wave energy is just piddly, and the winds are all wrong. It's a tough stretch to be a surfer here.
After nearly a week of nothing, the afternoon of the 28th of August gives us a tiny reprieve. The wind goes dead calm, glassy, with a 0.9m northerly swell at 8 seconds. The energy is a weak 111, but it will be squeaky clean. It's not going to set the world on fire, but you can have a splash.
Now, if you're patient, the true standout is Friday the 4th of September. That morning looks like a classic. It's totally glassy, not a breath of wind, with a solid 7ft swell from the NNE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is pumping at 422. At that size, this is strictly for the experienced crew – it's right on the limit for what's considered expert-only. It'll be a powerful, clean, machine-like point wave. The water's at 55°F, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so don't forget your steamer. The wind switches in the afternoon and messes it all up, so it's a one-trick pony. Be there at first light.
Aside from that, there are a few other afternoons, like the 1st and 2nd of September, that show clean light winds and a knee-high bump, but it's nothing special. A spot like this can switch on in a heartbeat, so keep an eye on it, but for the forecast window, the 4th of September is your only real target.
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.
