The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long run of days with next to nothing on offer. The opening days are dead flat, glassy, and clean, but with zero swell to speak of. From the 7th right through to the 18th of September, it’s mostly poor surf conditions, with hardly a wave that’s worth paddling for. The few tiny pulses that show up – like a 2 ft windswell on Wednesday the 9th morning, or a brief 3 ft westerly on Thursday afternoon – are all marked as poor conditions. The swell energy is incredibly weak, often in single digits (0 to 128), and the periods are short, mostly under 7 seconds. It’s a real quiet spell.
The first flicker of something half-decent doesn’t arrive until Friday the 18th of September. On the morning of the 18th, we get a 4 ft swell from the west, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy finally hits a moderate 120. The wind is light and cross-off from the NE, keeping it clean. But even then, the report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – so it’s not a standout, just the best of a bad lot. That’s your only real window of opportunity in the whole 16 days.
After that, it drops right back to tiny, weak waves and flat spells right through to the 22nd.
So, the honest truth? There’s no epic swell on the horizon. The only break we’ve got data for is Almanarre, which is an exposed beginner spot that’s inconsistent. It’s a beach setup, but with the swell being so small and weak, and the wind often cross or onshore, it’s not even worth a look for most. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird to report.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of Friday the 18th is your best bet for a clean, small wave, but keep expectations low. Otherwise, it’s a quiet spell. For this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal.
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.
