The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s going on with Almanarre over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a pretty grim run for the most part. We've got a long, quiet stretch ahead, so don't hold your breath for anything decent until we're well into September.
The water is sitting at 76°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice for a swim, but that’s about the only highlight for a while.
We start off with nothing. Sunday the 30th of August has tiny, weak waves around 2ft to 3ft, with cross-shore breezes and the combined energy is pathetic, barely registering (43). It’s poor. That theme carries right through the first week of September. There are small pulses here and there, but they’re all 2ft or less with short periods (3-5 seconds) and messy winds. By the 3rd and 4th we get some clean conditions with cross-offshore winds, but there’s virtually no swell to work with – just ankle-biters.
The 5th of September sees a little bump to 3ft from the west with a 6-second period, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore, so it’ll be choppy. Not worth the paddle.
Then we hit a major gap. From the 6th of September right through to the morning of the 9th, there’s nothing rideable. A flat spell. The afternoon of the 9th finally shows a pulse of life. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the west with a 7-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 304 – moderate energy. The wind is light and cross-shore, keeping it clean. It’s still only rated as marginal on account of some questionable tide conditions, but after so much nothing, it's the first real chance for a wave. Almanarre can handle a west swell, so if you’re desperate, that Wednesday afternoon might offer something.
After that, it’s back to small or flat conditions through to the 12th. The real standout, the one to pencil in, is Sunday the 13th of September. On the Sunday morning, we get a clean 5ft west swell (period 6 seconds) with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the northeast. The combined energy is a solid 154. By the afternoon, it picks up a little more to 6ft from the west, still clean with cross-offshore winds from the southeast, and energy climbing to 198. This is the best on offer. It’s still only described as "surfable but very ordinary", which tells you the bar is low, but for the 16-day window, that Sunday is the day. The waves will be a little full for beginners at that size, but alright for the rest of us.
Monday the 14th then goes fair to flat again. So, the summary is: a long, dry first week, a marginal chance on the Wednesday 9th, and then the best bet is that Sunday the 13th of September. The rest is a write-off.
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.
