The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with you. The outlook for Almanarre over the next 16 days is a real dry spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with no real standouts at all. For the first week, from July 17th right through to July 25th, the highest wave energy we see is a pathetic 84 (moderate energy), and that’s attached to a windblown 3ft onshore mess on the 21st afternoon. Not worth paddling out for. Most days the combined energy sits below 10, with flat spells and poor surf conditions. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing special there.
The only glimmer of hope shows up on Sunday, July 26th. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the WNW with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 128 (moderate), but the comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The afternoon cleans up a bit with a 5ft W swell, 7-second period, 243 energy (moderate), and a cross-off breeze from ESE. That’s the best of the run, a clean 5ft – but it’s still not a standout. For a place like Almanarre, which is an exposed, inconsistent spot, this kind of blank run is more normal than not. The setup is a beach-and-reef, but with the persistent onshore and cross-off winds through the period, it’s honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the window.
So, if you’re desperate, keep an eye on that Sunday afternoon, July 26th. But otherwise, forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
