The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ for the Alnes Lighthouse area.
It’s gonna be a tough run for a while. The first week and a half is mostly a bust – surf stays small, wind keeps messin’ things up, or both. There’s a big dry spell with nothing worthwhile until the second week of August. A tiny window opens Monday, August 10th with glassy conditions, but the waves are puny and ordinary. Don’t get too excited yet.
Things finally start lookin’ up from Sunday, August 16th afternoon. That day, the wind turns light and clean, blowin’ cross-off from the SSE, and that 1.6m swell from the west with a 7-second period starts shapin’ up. The combined energy is moderate at 314, and it’ll be clean. That’s the first day I’d bother suitin’ up.
But the real highlight – the best of the whole 16-day forecast – is Monday, August 17th morning. We’re talkin’ glassy, clean conditions with the wind off the land from the NE. Swell hangs at 1.5m out of the WNW, and the period bumps to 9 seconds, givin’ it more juice and better form. Combined energy sits at 344 – moderate but solid. This is your day. It’s a point break, so that longer-period swell should wrap in nice and offer up some proper rides. Just be aware, crowds are possible, so get out there early.
Before that, the early part of August is mostly blown out or flat. Water temp is around 13°, right about average for this time of year. Nothin’ unusual.
So here’s the plan: sit tight through the first week and a half, then lock in Monday the 17th. It ain’t gonna be pumping, but it’s the cleanest, best-shaped day in the window.

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.
