The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, this forecast is a bit of a heartbreaker for the Alnes Lighthouse (point) area. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. The only real window where you might even think about paddling out is the very first afternoon, and even then, it’s a struggle.
The story starts Saturday afternoon, August 1st. We’ve got a northwest swell coming in at 6ft with a period of 8 seconds, which is just okay. The combined wave energy is sitting at 337, so there’s moderate power in the water. The wind is a cross-off from the south at 12 mph, so the face will be clean. The water temp is 56°, about average for the time of year. This is your best bet, but it’s a marginal call. The score is low, and it’s really just the only option on the table.
Then we hit a wall. From Sunday morning, August 2nd, all the way through to Wednesday morning, August 13th, it’s a desert of poor surf. The wind is either cross, cross-on, or just too strong, and the swell window is mostly small and messy. There’s a brief flicker on Tuesday morning, August 4th, with a tiny 3ft swell, but it’s cross-on and weak. For kite surfers, those strong winds from the 11th to the 12th might look interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go.
Finally, on Thursday afternoon, August 13th, we get a tiny glimmer. A 3ft swell from the west with a 6-second period and light cross-off wind from the east at 9 mph. The energy is 147, so it’s weak, but it’s the only surfable moment in the entire second week. Conditions are ordinary, but at least it’s clean. The swell is small, so it’s not for the shortboarders, but a log might get a few grovelly ones.
The big takeaway? The first Saturday afternoon is the only thing close to a standout, and it’s a low-quality one. The rest of the 16 days is a long, dry spell. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
