The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's coming up for the Alnes Lighthouse (point break). It's a bit of a mixed bag to be honest, so don't get your hopes up for the next week and a half.
Right now, we're looking at a pretty bleak run. The pattern starts off with a lot of wind and marginal conditions. On Friday the 21st of August, we've got a 6ft swell from the NNW, but it's got a short period of 8 seconds and a cross-on wind. The wave energy is moderate (450), but it just doesn't look clean. That trend continues right through until the end of the month. There's a window of glassy conditions on Sunday the 23rd, but the swell is tiny at 2ft, so it's not really worth the paddle. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
The real standout, the one you've been waiting for, is the morning of Monday the 31st of August. That's when things finally click. We've got a 5ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds, and it's glassy. The wind is dead calm, absolutely zero, so it's going to be clean. The combined energy is a solid 350, which is decent. This is the best on offer, hands down. It's not a massive groundswell, but the conditions are going to be beautiful for that point. Just be aware that the crowds are sometimes an issue here, so it might get a bit busy.
Following that, the 1st of September sees a slightly bigger 6ft swell from the W, but there's a light cross-shore wind that will put a little texture on it. Still a runner-up as the swell drops off into the first week of September. Then, look ahead to Saturday the 5th of September. This one is promising but a bit further out. We've got a 3ft swell from the W with a long period of 14 seconds. That's a groundswell and the combined energy is a much stronger 751, which is well into the moderate range. The wind is cross-off and light, so it should be clean. The long period means it'll hold up well on the point, and the shape should be good, but long-range forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a write-off. Your best bet is the morning of the 31st of August for a clean, fun session. The 5th of September is one to pencil in as a potential cracker.
Rusty.

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.
