The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down this forecast for Almanarre.
Overall, it’s a real quiet spell with a lot of flat water. There’s a stretch of about three days with no surf at all from the 22nd to the 24th of July, and even when there is something, it’s not much to write home about.
Your best bet is the morning of Saturday the 18th of July. We’ve got a glassy, clean 3ft swell from the west, period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is low at 73. The water is much warmer than average for this time of year at 79°. It’s a small wave, but with calm wind and clean conditions, that’s as good as it gets. The afternoon gets blown out by a strong onshore wind, so be there early.
After that, it’s mostly flat or poor. On Monday the 27th of July we see a 5ft swell from the west, period of 6 seconds, with combined energy of 160. That’s got some energy, but the wind is hammering onshore at 25 mph, making it a choppy mess. That’s kite-surfing weather, not paddle-surfing.
For the highlight – it’s that Saturday 18th July morning. It’s small, it’s clean, and it’s glassy. That’s your session. Everything else looks like a bust. Crowds could happen since it’s an exposed spot, but tiny waves usually keep the crowds away.
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.
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.
