The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good hard look at what Almanarre has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I won't sugar-coat it—this is gonna be a long, quiet stretch. Aside from a brief spike of energy around the 5th and 6th of August, we are looking at a whole lot of nothing. The first proper chance of a wave doesn't show up until the 5th of August. Before that, it's flat to tiny, with only poor conditions on offer. We're talking a solid week of waiting.
The main event, if you can call it that, arrives on Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning is a bit weak, with a 3ft west swell and a period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak at just 67. But things improve by the afternoon. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the west, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to a moderate 248. The secret weapon here is the wind. We get a clean, light breeze from the east-southeast, which is a cross-offshore. That’ll keep the faces pretty clean. It’s not gonna be the wave of the century, but it’s the best you’ll get this period.
Thursday morning the 6th holds some of that residual energy, with a 4ft swell from the west and a 5-second period. The energy drops to 119, but the wind goes glassy from the north. Zero wind. That is a rare treat and will make for some silky smooth conditions. The wave size is small to medium, so it won't be too thumping for a beginner.
A couple of things to keep in mind. Almanarre is an exposed spot, so it catches whatever is on offer. This setup, with a west swell and light winds, is about the best we can hope for in this dry spell. The water temperature is a toasty 80°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—nearly 7° warmer, so you can leave the wetsuit at home if you want.
For the rest of the forecast, we are back to tiny, onshore slop. There’s a bump of windswell on the 11th with 5ft, but with a strong westerly wind blowing 15 mph, it will be a messy, choppy mess. Not worth the paddle.
So, to wrap it up: If you are desperate for a wave, your best bet is the afternoon of Wednesday, the 5th of August, followed by the glassy early morning of Thursday the 6th. After that, it’s a waiting game. For the rest of the period, you might be better off just checking the forecast again next week.
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.
Almanarre is 6 km (4 miles) from Hyeres. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hyeres. Hyeres has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
