The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty bleak stretch of days ahead. The forecast horizon stretches out sixteen days, but we’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of for the first week and a half. The only spot that’s even on the radar is Almanarre, and even then, it’s a waiting game.
The first glimmer of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Saturday the 22nd of August. For most of the run-up, the combined wave energy is basically zero, with the odd tiny ripple. The water is currently a very warm 83°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only excitement.
Come Saturday the 22nd, around the afternoon, we finally get a pulse of life. Almanarre picks up a 4ft swell from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 137. The wind is offshore from the east-southeast at 9 mph, so conditions will be clean. It’s surfable, but the quality is described as very ordinary. It’s a wave, but it’s not going to win any awards.
The best of the whole bunch, if you can call it that, lands on Wednesday the 26th of August in the morning. A big 8ft swell from the west hits, with an 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to a massive 1546. That is a lot of juice. But here’s the catch: the wind is howling onshore from the west-northwest at 25 mph. That’s a strong breeze, making it a messy, blown-out, and dangerous situation for all but the most experienced. This is well over 5ft, so it’s too big for beginners, and with the wind, it’s really only for experts who don’t mind a beating. The wave period is short, so it’s not a classic groundswell, just a lot of raw, wind-affected power.
Overall, the standouts are few and far between. The afternoon of the 22nd is the cleanest option, but the waves are average. The 26th has the size, but the wind ruins it. For a spot that’s inconsistent, it’s a pretty normal blank run for this area. Keep your eyes on the forecast, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
