The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you—this is a tough one. The forecast for the next 16 days is a real bummer. We're looking at close to two weeks where the surf just isn't happening. From Tuesday, 28 July right through to Tuesday, 12 August, there's nothing on offer that's worth a paddle. The swells are tiny, weak, and the period is short, so forget about any real shape or push. It's a drought.
The only spot in the frame is Almanarre. This place is a beginner-friendly, exposed beach break that works best with a southwest swell. But it's inconsistent at the best of times, and the next two weeks are a perfect example of that. The water is a very unusual 80° Fahrenheit—way warmer than normal for the time of year, by about 7°, which is a bit of a talking point, but it doesn't help the waves.
There are a few moments where conditions look clean, like on Wednesday morning, 29 July, when it's totally glassy, but there's no swell—zero energy. Same goes for Saturday morning, 1 August, and Sunday morning, 2 August—glassy conditions but with waves too small to ride, barely a ripple. The combined energy on those days is just 1 or 14 (weak). On Wednesday afternoon, 5 August, we see the biggest swell of the entire period, hitting 1 yards from the west, with a combined energy of 73 (still weak). The wind is light cross-shore, so it's not blown out, but the period is a short 5 seconds, so it's going to be messy and weak. That's the best we've got, and it's still poor.
Because the swell is small and the wind is often offshore or glassy, Almanarre might be a decent spot for a beginner prone to float, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, it's a no-go. For the rest of the time, the wind is either onshore, cross-onshore, or too strong, like on Sunday, 9 August, when a 28 mph onshore breeze will turn the water into a washing machine. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The forecast is reliable for the near term, and it's staying flat. A blank run like this is more normal for the area than you'd hope, but forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
Rusty.

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.
