The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Alnes Lighthouse.

Right off the bat, it’s not looking great for a few days. The surf quality is poor through the weekend and into Monday. We’ve got a lumpy cross-onshore wind Sunday afternoon with a messy 5.2ft swell from the west, period around 10 seconds. That’s weak to moderate energy (533). Not worth paddling out for.

The real standout window opens up early on Tuesday morning, September 8th. That’s when we’ve got clean, glassy conditions with a solid 7.2ft groundswell from the west, period stretching out to a very long 14 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 1999. This is expert territory – that size and long period will produce powerful, well-shaped waves at this point break, but it’s going to be too big for beginners. The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out. Water temperature is about 56.1°, which is normal for this time of year.

Tuesday afternoon stays big at 7.2ft with a 13-second period, but the wind goes light cross-shore, so there will be some small ripples on the face. Still decent, but the morning is the pick.

After that, we hit a long dry spell. From Wednesday the 9th through to the weekend, it’s mostly poor conditions – choppy, cross-onshore winds, and small, weak swell. There’s a glimmer on Saturday morning, September 12th, with a clean 4.3ft west swell (10 seconds) and light cross-off wind, giving us some rideable but ordinary waves (energy 347). Nothing to get excited about.

The next standout comes on Monday morning, September 14th. That’s a full week away, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the signs are promising. We’re looking at a clean 8.2ft groundswell from the west-northwest, period 11 seconds, with light cross-off winds from the southeast. That’s a strong energy reading of 1575, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. Again, this is expert-only size. The offshore wind will keep the waves clean and lined up. Tuesday the 15th looks blown out, so don’t get your hopes up after that.

Further out, Friday September 18th brings a massive 14.8ft west swell with a very long 14-second period, and combined energy of 6864 – that’s very strong. The wind is cross-shore and fresh, so it’ll be lumpy. This is for experts only, and even then, the conditions are marginal. The swell direction and period are good for this point, but the wind is messy. Keep an eye on it, but don’t plan your week around it yet.

In summary, the best windows are Tuesday morning September 8th and Monday morning September 14th, both delivering clean, powerful, expert-only surf. The rest of the period is mostly quiet or blown out.

Stay safe out there.

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.
