The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Almanarre for the next couple of weeks.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real struggle. There’s a huge gap of no good surf from now all the way until around Wednesday 23 August. That’s over a week with nothing worthwhile. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of that time. The only real standout on the whole forecast comes right at the end, so keep that board waxed for the very last days.
For Sunday 9 August, we’re starting off with nothing. Water temp is way warmer than normal at 81°F, which is very unusual for this time of year, but doesn’t help the swell. Monday through to Saturday are all no-go – flat, tiny dribbles, or blown out. The swell energy is virtually zero for days.
The only real glimmer is on Sunday 23 August. We’ve got a pulse of swell coming in from the west, pushing up to around 5ft on the morning with a combined energy hitting 158 (moderate wave energy). By the afternoon, it jumps to 6ft and 234 energy. That's still on the small side, but it's the biggest we've seen. The period is only 6 seconds though, which is short-period windswell – not the kind that gives you a beautiful, lined-up wave. It’ll be a bit lumpy. With the onshore winds out of the WNW and WSW, it’s gonna be choppy and pretty average for a beach break like this. It's really only for the die-hards who just want to get wet.
Monday 24 August still has some size, around 4ft to 4ft from the west, but it’s getting hammered by strong onshore winds, so that's a miss too.
So, to sum it up: Almanarre doesn’t offer any good, clean surf in this forecast. There’s a little bump of energy right at the end, but it’s ruined by wind. Not our time, mate.
Stay keen,
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.
