The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead for the Almanarre area. We’ve got a long, quiet period to start with. The first real hope for a surf doesn't show up until Friday morning, the 7th of August. There's a pulse of swell coming in from the WNW at 4.6ft, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (214). The morning has a light offshore breeze from the NE, which should keep things clean. It’s not a massive day, but it’s the best we’ll see for a while. The water is a very unusual 80.8° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that, the surf drops right off. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves or flat spells right through until the middle of the month. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, but no swell to back them up. The best you can hope for is a knee-high wobble.
It’s not until the 21st of August, a Friday afternoon, that we get something worth a proper mention. The model is showing a solid 6.2ft swell from the west, with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of (264) – that’s the strongest energy in the whole forecast. The wind is looking light and offshore from the SSE, which should groom it nicely. This is the standout of the whole outlook. It’s a way off, so keep your fingers crossed, but if it holds, that Friday afternoon session at Almanarre could be very good.

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.
