The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a pretty grim outlook for Almanarre. The entire 16-day window is a real struggle, with nothing that I’d call a proper surfable swell. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the swim will be nice.
The first few days are basically write-offs. Friday the 28th is a no-go with a weak 2ft SW swell, a short period of 6 seconds, and messy cross-on wind. Saturday and Sunday are even worse, with onshore wind and tiny, weak swells. The combined energy is pathetic, barely breaking double digits.
We do get a brief window of clean conditions on Tuesday the 1st of September, with light offshore and cross-offshore wind from the east and southeast. But the swell is tiny – 1ft and 0.7ft – with period of just 4 seconds. The combined energy is just 7 and 1. It’s clean, but there’s simply no energy to ride.
The rest of the first week and into the second is more of the same: light winds, but with virtually no swell. There’s a slight uptick on Thursday the 10th of September, with a 5ft S swell, a period of 7 seconds, and combined energy of 198 (moderate), but the wind is cross-shore from the SSW. The conditions are listed as “poor,” so I wouldn’t get your hopes up.
After that, it’s back to tiny or non-existent surf right through to the 12th of September. There is no standout session, no day that I’d recommend you paddle out for. For a spot like Almanarre, which is exposed to SW swell, this is a poor run, but forecasts can change. For now, it’s a flat spell.

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.
