The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Almanarre over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you right off the bat: it's gonna be a long, quiet stretch. We're not looking at much in the way of proper surf, so patience is the name of the game.
The next sixteen days start with a lot of nothing. From Tuesday the 15th right through to Monday the 28th of September, we're looking at a real dry spell. There will be days with barely a ripple, and plenty more with zero waves at all. It's about a 13-day gap of no real recommendations. A couple of afternoons around Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th will see some waist-to-chest high, messy, onshore slop, with the combined wave energy hitting 191 and 130 (moderate energy), but the wind is howling onshore from the west at 15 to 22 mph, wind-ruffled and choppy. That's not worth paddling out for; it's more of a kite-surfing scene if anything.
The only real standout, and I'm using that term loosely, comes on Saturday the 28th of September in the afternoon. We finally get a sniff of some clean conditions. There'll be a small pulse of swell from the west, around 4ft, with a period of 5 seconds – so not a lot of power, but it's clean with an offshore breeze from the ENE at 9 mph. The combined energy is a weak 90. It's small, it's weak, but after two weeks of flatness, a clean 4ft wave feels like a gift. It'll be one for the logs and the longboards.
Before that, on the 19th, the 20th, and a couple of mornings after, we'll see some glassy or clean offshore mornings, but with absolutely no swell to speak of. Just flat calm.
The water temp at Almanarre on the first day is sitting at 77°, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's very unusual, so you won't need a full suit.
So, to wrap it up: expect a whole lot of flat, choppy, or windy days. The one real highlight is the clean, small waves on the afternoon of the 28th of September. It's not a classic, but it's the best we've got.
Stay patient,
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.
