Table - best surf conditions forecast for Alnes Lighthouse over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Alnes Lighthouse (point break) are lookin’ pretty grim for the most part. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The first decent chance of a wave doesn’t pop up until Monday the 20th of July. Before that, it’s just a whole lot of nothing – poor conditions, cranky winds, and junk swell. I’d say don’t even bother paddling out until then.
That Monday afternoon on the 20th of July is the one to circle. We get a clean-looking cross-offshore breeze from the east-northeast (9 mph), and a 5 ft swell rollin’ in from the west with a moderate combined energy (276). It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’ve seen in ages. The conditions should be clean, so you might actually get a few. The water temp is around 55°F for the earlier part of the window, which is about average for the time of year – nothing wild there.
Tuesday the 21st of July has a smaller pulse – 3 ft from the west, cross-off wind again, clean enough to surf but very ordinary. Still, better than the weeks of rubbish before it.
Honestly, after that, things fall apart again. Wednesday the 22nd brings strong onshore winds and tiny waves. There’s nothin’ else that’s worth gettin’ excited about in the whole run.
So, if you’re keen, pencil in Monday the 20th of July afternoon. It’s the only real standout, but with these forecasts, you never know – things can change.
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.
