The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, talking about what’s on the menu at Alnes Lighthouse. This is a point break that’s fairly exposed to the swell, and it really lights up when the swell comes from the NW.
First off, don’t even bother paddling out from the 29th of August through the 1st of September. It’s flat, choppy, and the wind is junk. The water is about 59°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only good news.
Then on the 3rd of September, Thursday morning, we get a little taste. The wind swings offshore from the SE, light and clean, and we’ve got a 1.3m NW swell. It’s not much, but the energy is moderate (341) and it’s clean. A small window.
The big one, the one you want to be ready for, is Wednesday the 9th of September in the morning. A solid 2.5m swell from the NNW, 10-second period, and light offshore wind from the ENE. The energy is strong (1551) and the waves will be clean and powerful. This is for experts only — over 2.5m is serious. Crowds are possible, so expect company.
The 12th of September, Saturday morning, is another highlight. A 1.7m swell from the west, a long 12-second period, and light offshore wind from the east. The energy is solid (982) and the waves will have that long, lined-up, clean feel. This is a very good session.
The 13th of September, Sunday morning, also has clean surf with a 2.4m NW swell, and the afternoon goes glassy, which is a nice way to finish.
So, the first week is a bust, but the second week has two clear standouts: the 9th of September morning for big, expert-level waves, and the 12th of September morning for a more user-friendly, long-period swell. Keep the glassy days in mind.
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.
