The Lowdown
First up, we’re looking at Tuesday, 21 July. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual. The morning shows some clouds, a light 10 km/h cross-onshore breeze, and a tiny 0.2m swell from the west with a short period of 3 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 1 – that’s barely a ripple. Afternoon is just as poor with stronger cross-onshore wind and choppy conditions. Nothing to ride here.
Wednesday, 22 July, morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is completely flat. Afternoon kicks up a small 0.3m west swell at 5 seconds, but with a 20 km/h cross-offshore wind, it’s still a no-go. The energy is only 7.
Thursday, 23 July, we see a slight bump: 0.8m from the west-northwest in the morning, period 5 seconds, but it’s cross-shore wind and the energy is only 30. Afternoon gets worse with onshore wind and a period of just 4 seconds. Still poor.
Friday, 24 July, stays clean with a light offshore breeze in the morning, but no swell. Afternoon is offshore too, but the swell is a pathetic 0.1m.
Saturday, 25 July, is clean offshore all day, but again, no swell to speak of.
Sunday, 26 July, starts similar – small and weak. But the afternoon gets interesting in a bad way: a 2.2m swell from the west with a 7-second period hits, but it’s accompanied by a strong 45 km/h onshore wind. The combined energy jumps to 453 – that’s moderate energy – but the wind is making it completely unsurfable. This setup is more for the kite crew than paddle surfers.
Monday, 27 July, to Tuesday, 28 July, is a mix of strong cross-onshore and onshore winds, with tiny swell or flat conditions. The waves that do show up are messy and blown out.
Wednesday, 29 July, through to the end of the first week of August, we’re stuck in a pattern of very small swell (0.1m to 0.6m) with inconsistent wind. A few glassy mornings, like Thursday, 30 July morning, with a 0.1m southwest swell, but it’s barely a ripple. The energy never cracks 34 for the rest of the run.
The standout? There isn’t one. Not a single day offers a genuine surfable wave with good wind and enough size. If you’re desperate, the cleanest moments are the glassy mornings on 30 July and 2 August, but you’ll be waiting for a rideable bump that just isn’t coming.
This is one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area. The forecasts can always change, but right now, you’re better off leaving the board in the car.

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.
