Alright, let's look at what's happening at Alnes Lighthouse. It's a slow start, with a lot of flat and messy days before we finally get a proper payoff. The first week and a half is mostly a bust, so don't rush out.
The first real chance for a wave comes on Wednesday, July 8th. The morning is a bit messy with a cross-onshore breeze, but the afternoon cleans up. The wind goes glassy, and we'll see a 4ft swell from the north. The wave energy is moderate (317), and the conditions will be clean. It's a short period swell at 8 seconds, so the shape won't be perfect, but it's the only decent surf in the early part of the run.
From Thursday, July 9th, right through to July 19th, it's basically a no-go. The wind is either too strong, cross-shore, or onshore, and the swell is weak and inconsistent. That's an 11-day stretch where you're better off doing something else. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
Now, the big one. Mark down Monday, July 20th. We're looking at a solid 8ft swell from the NNW, with a 10-second period. The wave energy is very strong (1399), so there's a ton of power. The wind is dead calm – glassy in the morning and glassy in the afternoon. This is a serious swell for Alnes Lighthouse (point break). It's too big for beginners, and it'll be a real challenge for intermediates, but for experienced surfers, this is an excellent session. The swell direction is close to the ideal NW, so expect long, clean rides. Crowds are possible, so get there early. The afternoon session on the 20th is also top-notch.
The days after, on July 21st and 22nd, the swell drops but the wind stays glassy, offering some clean but smaller waves. The 21st afternoon has a glassy 5ft swell from the north, which is still a fun option.
The standout is the 20th of July. That's the one to wait for. Everything else is a patience game.

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.
