The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what we’ve got coming down the line. First things first, the water at Alnes Lighthouse is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing crazy to worry about there.

The first few days look pretty grim with some SW wind and rain, so don't get your hopes up. Monday afternoon the 7th is a write-off – strong onshore flow, messy 4ft – just not worth it.

Now, it perks up in a big way on Tuesday the 8th. The morning surf is looking clean, with a 7ft swell from the west and a gentle offshore wind. The energy's got some real power behind it (1626), and the combo of that S wind makes for good shape. The afternoon turns glassy with winds going light, nearly dead calm, and the swell settles to a clean 7ft from the west with a proper 13-second period. That’s your standout window for some strong, well-shaped waves.

We get a bit of a messy spell from Wednesday the 9th through Thursday the 10th. The swell drops and winds are onshore or cross, making it choppy. The sessions are best left alone.

Friday the 11th morning is a maybe – 5ft, clean with cross-off wind, but it's just on the marginal side. The afternoon sees the wind howling up to 25 mph, so that’s a hard pass.

The weekend of the 12th and 13th gets interesting but takes a turn. Saturday the 12th has some serious size – 12ft from the west with plenty of power (2767 and 4288 in the afternoon). The winds stay cross-off and it’s clean, but this is for experienced surfers only. The period is a solid 10-13 seconds, so it’ll have some punch. Sunday the 13th has the size but heavy rain and strong onshore wind ruin it.

Next week, keep an eye on Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th. The 15th has 6ft to 7ft from the WSW with clean conditions. Not epic, but rideable. The 16th morning brings a solid 10ft from the west with a good 13-second period and a cross-off wind – that’s a big, clean day for skilled surfers.

Looking further out, Sunday the 20th into Monday the 21st is a really promising pattern. The afternoon of the 20th sees a 10ft W swell under low wind, clean and super glassy. The energy is massive (3139). Monday the 21st afternoon tops it: 10ft from the NW, very long 11-second period, light SSE wind making it glassy. This is a true standout for the second week – a clean, powerful northwest swell at a reliable point break. Finally, Tuesday the 22nd stays clean with smaller 5ft waves, nice and gentle for a finish.

Don't bother with the days in between if you can help it – a lot of cross-shore and onshore junk. Stick to the 8th and the 20th-21st for the best of 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. 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.
