The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what we’ve got coming up.
Honestly, it’s looking like a real dud of a 16-day stretch. For the vast majority of the period, the surf is flat or tiny, with hardly any energy. The first hint of something rideable doesn’t show up until the second week.
Our only spot is Almanarre (France). The water’s sitting at 77°, which is about 5° warmer than average for this time of year—that’s pretty unusual, so it’s warm water for a fall session.
So, from Wednesday the 2nd all the way through to Monday the 14th, it’s mostly barren. Waves are puny, under 2ft, with periods all under 6 seconds. Wind is a mix of cross-on, cross-off, and onshore, but it doesn’t matter much because there’s no swell to work with. Combined energy is often in the single digits—3 or 5. Nothing doing.
We finally see something on Monday afternoon the 14th. Swell hits 6ft from the W, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy at 210—that’s the only moderate energy in the whole window. Wind is light cross-onshore from the SSW at 6 mph, so not glassy, but it’s the best we’re gonna get. Even then, it’s called marginal.
Then Tuesday the 15th has a bit of 5ft from the W (energy 116), but it’s a gentle cross-onshore breeze making it choppy. After that, it flatlines again from Wednesday the 16th.
The Standout: Monday the 14th afternoon is your only real shot. 6ft from the W, light wind, at Almanarre. It won’t be perfect, but it’s the only wave in town. Get in and get wet.
It’s a quiet run, but this area tends to go flat sometimes. Hang tight.
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.
