The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
We’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead. The first recommendation doesn’t kick in until the 11th of September, so there’s a solid chunk of time where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. For nearly two weeks, from the end of August through the first week of September, it’s a dead zone. We’re talking small, weak, wind-blown slop—mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes wrecking what little bump there is. A few mornings go glassy, but there’s simply no swell to work with. Combined energy values are mostly in the single digits (2, 8, even 1) – that’s all time low, barely a ripple.
The only silver lining is the 11th and 12th of September. For Almanarre, the morning of Friday the 11th sees a light offshore breeze from the ENE, with a 2ft swell out of the W, period around 6 seconds. Combined energy picks up to a still-meager 18. By the afternoon, the wind firms up to a moderate offshore from the ESE, the swell bumps to 3ft from the WNW with a 55 reading on the energy scale. That’s the best on offer in the whole outlook, and honestly, it’s not saying much. For a break that’s exposed to the SW and needs that direction to work properly, a small westerly groundswell with a short period will be weak and racy. It’s clean with the offshore wind, but the waves will be small, a bit gutless.
The morning of Saturday the 12th turns on a fresh offshore, but there’s no swell height recorded—flat. The afternoon offers a tiny 1ft from the W with fresh offshore winds, but again, not enough push. The crowds at Almanarre can be a problem when it’s good, but with this outlook, you might have the place to yourself.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
So if you’re a real die-hard, the Friday afternoon session on the 11th is your best bet for a clean, small wave. The Saturday morning is glassy but flat. After that, we’re back to nothing on the 13th with a glassy 0.7ft. A long, quiet run.
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.
