The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s headed our way.
Straight up, it’s a pretty lean run for Almanarre. With the water temp sitting at 80°F and about 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year, it feels more like a tropical bath than a classic surf session. For the next week and a half, there’s just nothing doing. We’re looking at a gap of about 12 days where the surf is flat or so small it’s not worth paddling out for. A few tiny bumps show up here and there, but they’re all rated as poor surf conditions.
The first day that even looks like it might hold a wave is Monday the 21st of September. Even then, it’s only a small 3-foot south swell with a weak 6-second period and a combined energy of just 62 – that’s next to nothing. The morning has a clean cross-off breeze from the NNE, so it’ll be rideable for a learner, but it’s very ordinary. Tuesday the 22nd offers a brief moment of glass early with a tiny 1-foot west swell, but again, the energy is minimal at 6.
If you’re a kitesurfer, the setup on Thursday the 17th with that 25 mph west wind and 2-foot chop might look more interesting than it does for us paddle surfers.
So for the foreseeable future, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, and a promising groundswell could still pop up, but right now there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
