Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for the Alnes Lighthouse area.
First off, we've got a bit of a waiting game on our hands. The forecast is mostly a write-off for the first several days, with a whole lot of wind and chunky, messy swell. You're looking at a run of poor surf from Sunday the 5th right through to the end of the following week. The wind is swinging from the SW and WSW, gusting up to 31 mph on Monday the 6th, which is going to make a mess of things. The combined energy is moderate, hitting a high of 1188 on Monday afternoon, but it's all for nothing with that near gale. The water is looking about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until Tuesday the 14th. That morning, we get a moment of clarity. A clean 6 ft swell from the west, with a 9-second period, rolling in under glassy conditions. The wind is dead calm, and the combined energy is a solid 472. This is your first standout. It's a clean, intermediate point break, and with the offshore direction being SE, it should be lined up nicely. Because it's a point, that longer period will work well, giving you some proper shape. Be aware, though, it can get crowded here sometimes.
Then, keep your eye on Wednesday the 15th. This is the best of the lot. We've got a 5 ft west swell, still with a decent 10-second period, keeping that energy up (541). The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, and the afternoon goes completely glassy with zero wind. It's going to be gorgeous. The combined energy is moderate, everything is aligning, and you'll be surfing perfectly clean, peeling waves at Alnes Lighthouse. This is the day to circle on the calendar.
After that, things drop off again. The wind picks up on the 16th, and the swell gets smaller and wind-affected. The 17th sees a small, short-period swell that's a bit mushy, and the 18th and 19th are back to strong winds and choppy water. The 19th afternoon has a tiny bit of glassy, small surf, but it's nothing to write home about.
So, the long and short of it: there's a lot of dud days to get through, but the 14th and especially the 15th are the real deal. If you can wait until then, it'll be worth it.
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.

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.
