The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
First thing you need to know – the water is crazy warm. We’re talking 81°F and an anomaly of 7°F warmer than normal. That’s very unusual, so don’t expect a wetsuit for this one.
Right now, through the 7th and for the next week and a half, it’s a total bust. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the score is a dead zero. It’s flat, it’s messy, or it’s blown out. We’re looking at a solid 11-day gap with no surf worth paddling for. You’re better off having a cold one and watching the horizon.
But hold on. Things start to get interesting around Tuesday, the 18th of August. The morning session is the only real standout in the whole 16-day window. The swell picks up to 5 ft out of the west, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 200 (moderate wave energy), so there’s some juice. The wind is from the north at 9 mph, which is a gentle cross-shore. That’ll keep the surface from getting too chopped up. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only show in town.
Now, Almanarre is exposed to the SW, and this swell is from the west, so it’s kind of working. The break is a beginner spot and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a machine. It’s also a spot that can get crowded sometimes, so keep your head on a swivel.
The afternoon on the 18th turns to rubbish – onshore wind at 16 mph from the west, making it a mess. After that, the 19th and 20th get blown out by strong westerly winds, and it looks more like a kiteboarding session than a surf one. The 21st and 22nd are flat again.
So, bottom line: if you’re desperate, the Tuesday morning of the 18th is your one and only shot. It’s not epic, but it’s the best we’ve got. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.
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.
