The Lowdown
Alright, let me break this down for you. Honestly, this is a pretty quiet stretch for Almanarre. We're looking at a run of mostly small, weak surf, and it’s going to stay that way for a while. There’s a solid gap at the start with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The first real chance you’ve got is actually a week away, so be patient.
We kick off with a little bump on Monday, August 24th. The afternoon shows a pulse of southwest swell coming in at 5ft with a 6-second period. Now, the combined energy jumps up to (294), which is moderate, but the wind is a moderate offshore from the SE, keeping things clean. It’s a marginal call, but that’s the most interesting window in the whole forecast. Don’t expect much else.
Before that, from August 18th through the 24th morning, it’s all tiny, weak, and mostly messy. A few glassy moments on Wednesday morning the 19th with 2ft, but it’s just too small to get excited about. You’ll see some cross-off and clean conditions here and there, but the swell is barely a pulse.
After the 24th, it fades right back out. From the 25th right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at flat to near-flat conditions. Wind gets nasty too – strong onshores, some fresh to near-gale gusts – and the energy readings are down to single digits or zero. That’s a long, dry spell.
Into the first couple days of September, Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd, we’re still stuck on tiny 1ft leftovers. Clean, sure, but that’s not surf.
For the whole period, water temps are about average for the time of year, nothing wild going on there.
If you’re determined to get wet, your one and only standout is Almanarre on the afternoon of Monday, August 24th. That southwest swell at 5ft with clean offshore wind is your best bet. Just know it’s still a bit of a long shot.
Stay tuned, things can change, but for now, this is a waiting game.

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.
