The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ in the water for us.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are lookin’ pretty flat and sad for Almanarre. There’s no real swell to get excited about. The water is sittin’ at a very warm 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—almost 8° above average, so it feels like a warm bath out there.
We kick off Sunday the 13th with tiny 0.7 ft slop out of the west, period a miserable 3 seconds. The combined energy is just 1. Light breeze from the NE keeps it clean, but there’s not enough push to even stand up. That sets the tone for the whole first week. Monday the 14th is similar—1.0 ft max from the WSW, period of 4 seconds, energy at 3. The afternoon gets a little offshore breeze from the east, so the surface will be smooth, but it’s barely a ripple.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are basically flat. Zero energy. Wednesday morning is glassy from the west, but with 0.3 ft and period of 4 seconds, you’re just bobbing around.
We finally see a pulse on Thursday the 17th. The afternoon brings a 4 ft swell from the west with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 131—moderate energy. But here’s the kicker: a fresh breeze from the west at 22 mph is blowin’ straight onshore. It’s gonna be a messy, choppy mess. This one is for the hardcore only, and honestly, with the wind that strong and the break bein’ a beach setup, it might be more fun for the kite crew than paddle surfing.
Friday the 18th is similar—4 ft west swell, period 6 seconds, energy 113—but again, a moderate cross-onshore breeze from the WNW at 12 mph in the morning and onshore in the afternoon. It’s choppy and not inviting.
The rest of the period—from Saturday the 19th all the way through Monday the 28th—is a long gap of nothing. Tiny waves if any, with the biggest push being a 2 ft west swell on Friday the 25th afternoon, but with a period of only 3 seconds and a cross-onshore breeze making it choppy. The entire stretch is characterised by poor surf conditions.
So what’s the best on offer? There isn’t a standout. If you’re absolutely desperate, Thursday the 17th afternoon has the most size (4 ft), but the wind ruins it. Monday the 14th afternoon is clean with offshore breeze, but the swell is tiny (1.0 ft). Honestly, this is a blank run. It tends not to stay poor for long around here, but for now, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.

Information about the Almanarre Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Almanarre provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Almanarre can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Almanarre 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 (Almanarre) 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 Almanarre 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.
