The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at this forecast for Almanarre. Truth be told, it’s a bit of a quiet stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first big chunk of it is flat or near-flat. There’s a real gap here – from the start up until Friday morning, the 7th of August, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The energy is just not there.
The first real sign of life shows up on Friday morning, the 7th of August. We finally get a pulse of swell, a 4ft west swell, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a short-period, windswell-type wave, not the cleanest. The combined energy is at 116 (moderate), which is okay, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the NNW, so it’s going to be a bit bumpy. Still, it’s something to wet your line on. The water temperature is a very unusual 80.8°, which is 7.2° warmer than average for this time of year – that’s a wild anomaly.
The standout moment, and really the only one that gets the blood pumping a bit, is Sunday morning, the 16th of August. That’s over a week away, so keep that in mind. The swell jumps to 5ft from the west, and the period stretches to 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 410 (strong), which is a proper kick. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the NW, but it’s only a gentle breeze. This is the best looking window in the whole run. The water is still warm, and while it’s a bit of a wait, that’s the one to circle on your calendar. It’s a beach break, so with that size and period, it might be a bit raw for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s the only game in town.
Until then, it’s a waiting game. The consistency is poor, and most days offer nothing. But it’s a classic spot, and it tends not to stay this quiet for long.

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.
