The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough outlook.
Right now, and for the next week and a half, it is flat. There’s hardly a ripple on offer. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, and mostly messy conditions at Almanarre. The combined swell energy barely ever gets into double figures for days on end, with most sessions showing 10 or less (weak wave energy). The water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real flicker of life doesn't show up until Monday, the 7th of September. Monday morning has a little pulse – we’re talking 3ft of swell from the west, with a 6-second period. The energy is still low (68), but the wind is dead calm, glassy. That’s the only window we get with "surfable" conditions, and even then, it’s just ordinary. For a beginner spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this is a pretty barren run.
If you’re a beginner, that Monday morning window (7 September) is your only real shot at a paddle. It’s clean, but the swell is tiny and weak. For everyone else, it’s honestly not worth the drive. The setup and wind during the decent swell pulses earlier on (like late August) are all onshore or cross-off, but the waves themselves are just too small and gutless to do anything with.
This is one of those blank runs where the area just isn't firing. Nothing to get excited about. Forecasts can change, but for now, my advice is to wait.
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.
