The Lowdown
Alright, it's Rusty here, and I'm having a good look at the charts for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—it’s looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’re stuck in a flat spell.
Let's break it down. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off. There’s not a single day where the waves get above a pathetic 4 ft, and even that comes with a shifty onshore wind. The place we’re talking about is Almanarre and the whole period is filled with "poor surf conditions."
We kick off on Thursday, August 27th with a tiny 0.7 ft south swell, short 5-second period, and a strong 19 mph easterly offshore wind. Yeah, the wind is offshore, but the combined energy is only 4, which is about as weak as it gets. The water is a warm 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t care because you’ll be sitting on your board doing nothing.
The next couple of weeks are a painful mix of tiny swells (0.7 ft to 2 ft) and constant cross-shore or onshore winds. There's a slight glimmer on Saturday morning, August 30th, with a clean 2 ft swell (combined energy 26) and a nice light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. It'll be clean, but there's no power behind it. That’s the best you’re going to get.
After that, it’s a long, drawn-out affair of nothing. We get a few glassy mornings (like Tuesday, September 1st and Wednesday, September 9th) with tiny waves, but the swell is always under 1 ft. Forget about it. For the second week, the numbers just roll from one flat day to the next. On Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th of September, there’s literally zero swell energy listed.
There are no standouts here. This is a blank run. For Almanarre, this is one of those times where you don't even bother checking the forecast. If you're desperate, maybe the Saturday morning of August 30th gives you a clean, super-small knee-high wave on a longboard, but don't get your hopes up. The only positive note is that it tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye out for the next system.
Keep your stick dry, mates.
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.
