Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the local surf outlook for Alnes Lighthouse.
Straight up, this is a tough stretch of days. We're lookin' at a lot of onshore and cross-shore wind messin' things up for the first week and a half. The water temp is sittin' at about 55°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, no surprises there.
Kickin' off on Saturday the 4th, we've got some swell pushin' through – around 7ft from the WSW with a moderate energy level (785). But the wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 12 mph, which isn't ideal. It's cleanable, but the wave comment says it's marginal, and the scores back that up. Sunday the 5th through Friday the 11th is pretty much a write-off. Constant onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, messy conditions. The swell hangs around but the wind just kills it. There's a real dry spell for any decent surf.
Now, we start to see a little light. Sunday the 12th morning brings glassy conditions with a light WSW breeze, swell around 3ft from the west, and wave energy is weak (114). It's surfable, but very ordinary. Monday the 13th afternoon might have a bit more size, 6ft from the WSW, and a clean cross-off breeze from the ENE. The period is a weak 6 seconds though, so it'll be a bit lumpy and lack punch, but at least the wind's right.
The true standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Wednesday the 15th. We wake up to glassy conditions, no wind, and a solid 8ft of groundswell rolling in from the west. The combined energy is strong (761) and the period is a workable 8 seconds. This is gonna be a real clean, powerful day at the point. That size is gettin' up there, so it'll be more for the experienced crew. The early morning glass is the ticket.
After that, it fades again. Thursday the 16th is clean but small, and Friday the 17th afternoon shows some promise with clean cross-off winds and 4ft swell (389 energy), but it's not a standout. Then Saturday the 18th morning gives us another crack: glassy again, with a good 8ft west swell (585 energy). That's another solid one for the experts, but the afternoon gets sloppy again.
Best on offer? Wednesday morning the 15th and Saturday morning the 18th. Both have glassy conditions and solid, powerful west swells. The 15th looks like the pick of the bunch for power and cleanliness. If you're a confident surfer, those are your sessions.

A general guide to surfing at Alnes Lighthouse can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
