The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Almanarre over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak run. The water’s sitting at a warm 78° with a massive anomaly of 4°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth noting.
The first decent chance to wet a line doesn’t show up until Wednesday morning, September 9th. We’ve got a tiny 1 ft of swell from the SW, period a short 4 seconds, and the energy is weak (7). The wind is glassy though, so it’ll be clean. But it’s really just a knee-high dribble, and the break is inconsistent, so don’t expect much.
Thursday afternoon, September 10th, offers a slight bump. There’s 3 ft from the W with a 7-second period and moderate energy (76). The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it reasonably clean. Still, it’s ordinary at best, and the break is exposed to the swell but rarely pumps.
Saturday morning, September 12th, has a 1 ft swell from the WSW with a weak 4-second period (7), but the wind is offshore and gentle. It’s clean but tiny – not worth a special trip.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is on Thursday morning, September 17th. A 4 ft swell from the SW, period of 6 seconds, with moderate energy (94). The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. For a beginner-friendly spot that’s inconsistent, this is about as good as it gets in this window. The crowds are sometimes an issue, but with conditions this marginal, you’ll probably have it quiet.
The rest of the period is a mess of poor surf conditions, onshore winds, or flat spells. There’s a long gap with no real surf from the 18th through to the 22nd, with strong onshore winds and stormy conditions. The wind on the 18th and 19th is fresh to strong, making it messy and ugly. Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
For a spot that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, this is a typical blank run. It’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, Thursday the 17th morning is your best, and it’s still pretty average.

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.
Almanarre is 6 km (4 miles) from Hyeres. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hyeres. Hyeres has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
