The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer in the Hyères area. This is a tough one, I’m not gonna lie. Almanarre is about as flat as a millpond for the foreseeable future. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is way warmer than it should be for this time of year – that’s a real anomaly. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about.
Starting from Wednesday the 15th of July, and running all the way through to the 24th, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, often less than 2 ft, and right through the first week the energy is basically non-existent, with combined swell energy barely reaching double digits (1 to 22). The wind is a mixed bag – there are some nice glassy mornings and offshore moments, but with no swell to work with, it’s just a flat, clean lake. It’s the kind of setup that’s more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The surf quality is marked as poor throughout this whole period.
The first real flicker of hope doesn’t come until Saturday the 25th of July. On the morning of the 25th, we finally see a pulse of wave energy: 4 ft from the west, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 176 (moderate), which is a proper step up. The wind is off from the east at 9 mph, so it’s clean and offshore. It’s still not a world-beater, but it’s a surfable wave after a very long drought. This is the only standout period in the whole 16-day window. The afternoon of the 25th drops off again, and the rest of the week after that is back to tiny, poor conditions.
So, there you have it. A long, flat spell, followed by a brief, clean window on the morning of the 25th. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your moment. Otherwise, keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this flat 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.
