The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a slow start. There’s no surf on the cards for the first few days, from Sunday the 9th right through to around Wednesday the 13th of August. The ocean is flat as a pancake. The water is sitting at a balmy 81°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – feels more like a hot tub than a surf session.
We see a tiny bump trying to show up on Monday the 11th, but it’s not enough to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is a mess. Honestly, the first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t come until the following week. On Thursday the 14th, there’s a brief window of glassy conditions in the morning with a light offshore, but there’s zero swell to go with it. Just a tease.
The standout of the whole forecast? I’d say it’s the early morning of Saturday the 16th of August at Almanarre. We’ve got a tiny 0.6ft pulse from the WSW, but the real winner here is the wind. It’s dead glassy – a light NNW breeze creating a slick, clean surface. The combined swell energy is a measly 1 (weak), so you’re not going to be getting any barrels, but it’s the only time in the window where the conditions look truly inviting for a longboard or a foiling session. Expect it to be small, clean, and quiet.
After that, the pattern gets a bit lumpy and choppy through the rest of the period. A few more tiny pulses of swell mid-week, but the wind swings onshore and it gets bumpy again. By the time we hit the second week, the 21st and 22nd of August, the wind is cranking – 25 to 28 mph onshore – making a mess of things. At that point, with the significant wind and poor surf quality, this setup is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, bottom line: it’s a flat, quiet run. The only real chance to get wet is that glassy Saturday morning. It’s slim pickins, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
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.
