The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Well, to be honest, looking at this whole 16-day stretch, it’s a bit of a rough ride. There’s really nothing out there that’s going to have you sprinting for your board. The swell stays tiny, and when it does pick up a touch, the wind is all over the shop, usually chopping it up. We’re talking a long, flat spell for the most part, so if you’re keen, you might be better off giving the ocean a miss for a while.
The first few days are pretty much a write-off. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th have near-flat conditions, maybe a little 0.2m (0.7ft) dribble in the morning, but it’s crossed up and messy. Not worth the effort.
We do see a little pulse of energy around Monday the 17th. The swell bumps up to 0.8m (3ft) in the morning, but it’s coming from the west with a short 5-second period, and the wind is howling cross-onshore at 25 km/h (16 mph), making it lumpy. By the afternoon, the wind picks up to a strong 40 km/h (25 mph) onshore and the swell hits 1.4m (5ft), but it’s just going to be blown-out chaos. The combined energy gets to 102, which is moderate, but it’s all for nothing with that wind. This is more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day, to be honest.
After that, it drops back down again. The mornings of Tuesday the 18th through Thursday the 20th have a bit of clean 0.4m (1ft) swell with light offshore or cross-offshore winds, but it’s so small it’s barely rideable on a longboard. There are glimmers of clean conditions, but no power behind them.
The next week is more of the same. We get another small bump around the 25th and 26th of August, with the swell trying to push up to 1.2m (4ft) and 1.4m (5ft), but again it’s all onshore wind, 35-40 km/h (22-25 mph), making it a complete mess. The energy levels get up to 122, which is moderate, but the onshores are just going to destroy any chance of a clean wave.
So, the long and short of it is, there is nothing that stands out. There’s no standout session, no window of magic. The water temp is a stunning 28° (83°F), which is about 5° (9°F) warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s very unusual, you’d be mad not to get in for a swim, but the surf itself is just flat or junky. It’s one of those blank runs that happens. Hang loose, keep an eye on the charts; it won’t stay this poor forever.
Rusty, out.

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.
