The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for Almanarre, mate.
To be straight with you, this stretch is looking pretty flat for a long while. We’re starting on Wednesday the 29th of July, and honestly, there’s nothing rideable at all that day – total glass-off, zero energy. It’s pretty frustrating because you can see some swell trying to wobble in over the next few days, but it’s tiny. We’re talking ankle-snappers that won’t even stand up.
The water here at Almanarre is sitting at 79°F – now that is seriously warm, way above normal for this time of year (anomaly of 6°F). It feels more like bathwater than the Mediterranean.
The early part of the outlook is grim. From Wednesday the 29th through to about Monday the 3rd of August, there’s barely a ripple. Combined swell energy readings are all single digits – basically zero (0 to 4). Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the west and southwest, which isn’t helping those tiny bumps. The water’s warm, but there’s nothing to surf.
A glimmer shows up Sunday morning the 2nd of August. We’ve got a light offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, and the surf is a measly 1 ft from the SW with a period of 4 seconds. Energy is only 2. It’s clean, but you’d need a lot of imagination.
About the only time things start to look less depressing is around Monday morning the 10th of August. The swell shows a bit more life – 4 ft from the WNW with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 159, which is moderate. Problem is, the wind is smashing it: 19 mph from the WNW, cross-onshore, lumpy. That makes it messy and hard work, not a clean wave.
Then it gets blown out again Tuesday and Wednesday, with winds ramping up hard from the west-northwest (up to 31 mph). The swell gets mushy and the period drops. Nothing really lines up for a quality session.
Bottom line: there’s no standout window in this 16 day run. The first week is almost completely flat, and the second week has a bit more energy but it’s badly wind-affected. You’re better off waiting for a proper groundswell and cleaner skies. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions for paddle surfing.
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.
