Alnes Surf Guide
The Ålesund region's established quality wave — a point break by the Alnes lighthouse on Godøya producing lefts and rights over mixed sand and stone, with the whole Atlantic pushing into a shallow bay that stands the swell up. Consistent, with short waits between sets, in an iconic lighthouse-and-fishing-village setting.
Ability Level
Intermediate
Intermediate and up — comfortable wave-reading and rock awareness required despite the sandy inside.
Local Vibe
Doable
Small island community — keep numbers and attitude low-key.
Break Type
Point break
Local Hazard
Stone sections in the lineup (mixed sand/rock bottom); powerful short-period open-ocean waves; cold water year-round.
