The Lowdown
Alright, let's get real about the next couple of weeks here. Tell you what, the surf situation over this stretch is looking pretty bleak for the most part. We're talkin' about Almanarre, and honestly, for the first week and a half there's hardly a wave worth paddlin' out for. The swell energy is just pathetic, mostly under 20 (combined energy), and what little shows up is weak, short-period chop from the west and southwest. The wind is all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-onshore mushing things up. Water temp is sittin' at about 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're sittin' there doin' nothin'.
There's a big gap here. From the start on the 2nd of August all the way through to the morning of the 10th, there just isn't anything decent. You get a couple of brief pulses around the 7th where the swell height nudges up to 4ft, but the period is short (6 seconds) and the wind is on it, makin' it a messy, blown-out thing. Not worth the drive.
Now, the one real standout comes on Monday the 10th of August. The Monday morning session is where it's at. We've got a 4ft swell from the west with a period of 6 seconds, nothin' huge but the real winner here is the wind: it's glassy. Dead calm, no breeze. The combined energy is up to 121 (moderate), so there's enough push for a longboard or a funboard. That glassy condition is a major positive because it'll make for clean, smooth waves. It's exposed to the west swell, which is fine, but this is a spot that can get crowded when it's good. For a beginner-friendly break, 4ft is just about perfect. That Monday morning session is your best bet by a long shot.
After that, the afternoon turns to a cross-shore mess, and then the rest of the week and into the second week the swell fades back to nothin' or gets blown to bits by strong onshore winds. The 16th and 17th show a few tiny pulses with a long period (9 seconds), but the swell height is under 0.7ft so it's really just flat. There's nothin' else to get excited about.
So, bottom line: it's a long, dry stretch with one bright, glassy morning on the 10th. Go then, or don't go at all.

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.
