The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, checkin’ in from the coast. Look, I’m gonna be straight with ya—this next 16-day window is a real tough one for a paddle. Almanarre’s got next to no love from the ocean. We’ve got a long stretch of flatness and tiny junk, and not a single session is worth the wax.
We kick things off on Saturday the 12th of September with barely a ripple—1ft of weak W’ly windswell with a period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is basically a whisper (7). Wind’s cross-off from the NE at 15 km/h, so it looks clean, but there’s just nothing under your board. Water temp is 79°, which is 8° warmer than normal for this time of year—very unusual, almost like a bath.
Saturday afternoon and all of Sunday the 13th are even worse, with swell dropping to 1.0ft or flat. The energy barely registers (4 or 3). Monday the 14th is more of the same: tiny 1ft WSW windswell with a 4-second period. It’s poor, plain and simple. Tuesday the 15th goes completely flat.
Wednesday the 16th of September is the first little blip—afternoon sees a modest 2ft W’ly swell with a 6-second period, and combined energy climbing to 38. But it’s onshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph making for messy conditions. Still rated as poor surf.
Thursday the 17th of September afternoon brings the biggest swell of the whole outlook: 4ft from the west, period 6 seconds, and combined energy finally crosses into the moderate range (151). But it’s onshore again at 9 mph and the word “poor” is stamped all over the report. That energy is there, but the wind’s wrecking any chance of shape.
After that it’s downhill again. Friday the 18th offers 3ft with cross-onshore breeze, Saturday and Sunday are tiny and weak, and by Monday the 21st we’re back to near flatness. The rest of the second week—through to Sunday the 27th of September—is a sad string of 0.3ft to 1ft swells, most with combined energy under 10. The only bright note is glassy or cross-off winds on a few mornings (like Sunday the 20th and Saturday the 26th), but it’s a polished floor with no surf to surf.
No standout options here, not a single day that’s worth paddling out. This is one of those blank runs where the area just goes quiet. It tends not to stay this poor for long, forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing for it—you’re better off waiting for the next system to breathe life back into the place.
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.
