The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a proper look at the 16-day run for Almanarre.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty bleak picture for the next couple of weeks. There’s barely any swell to get excited about, and even when a bump shows, the conditions are rarely doing us any favours. It’s one of those stretches where you’d be better off checking the forecast again in a few days, because right now, there’s nothing that’s going to get the heart rate up.
The first hint of anything rideable isn’t until Saturday the 12th of September. Saturday morning is a write-off with 3ft from the west at a short 5 seconds and a cross-shore breeze, but by the afternoon, it gets a little interesting. We’ve got 6ft of west swell – that’s getting up there for the bigger boards – but with a glassy surface, that’s the best-looking window in the whole outlook. The combined energy is moderate at 180. That’s the pick of the bunch, but it’s far from perfect.
Sunday the 13th holds a bit of leftover energy, with 4ft from the west-northwest in the morning (moderate energy at 111) and clean conditions with NNE wind. Not terrible, but again, it’s ordinary surf, not a standout.
Beyond that, it’s back to tiny, weak slop for days on end. The wind is often offshore from the east by the second week, but with wave heights barely pushing 1ft or 1ft, there’s nothing to ride. The water is notably warm, running at 77°F, which is 5°F above normal – very unusual for the time of year.
To be straight with you – there’s no proper standout session here. The only one that even comes close is the Saturday afternoon on the 12th. If you’re desperate, that’s your window, but keep expectations low. Otherwise, this stretch is mostly a blank for paddle surfing.
Stay tuned, the forecasts can change, and it won’t stay this quiet forever.

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.
Almanarre is 6 km (4 miles) from Hyeres. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hyeres. Hyeres has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
