The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve scanned the Almanarre forecast for the next 16 days, and I’ll lay it out plain—most of this stretch is a dud. There’s a couple of brief windows where you can paddle out, but you’ll be working for anything decent. The combined energy barely cracks triple digits, and when it does, the swell direction or wind is working against you.
First real chance is Friday morning, August 7th. You’ve got a 4ft swell from the WNW with a short 6-second period, combined energy of 156 (moderate). Wind is light NNE at 3 mph, cross-off, so the surface is clean. It’s surfable, but pretty ordinary—short, weak, and the swell is coming from the wrong direction for Almanarre’s best exposure (SW). After that, it’s a huge gap. From Friday afternoon all the way through to Sunday, August 16th, there’s barely a ripple. Combined energy is mostly under 10, and while the wind goes glassy on a few mornings (like Sunday the 9th and Tuesday the 11th), there’s zero swell. That’s over a week of flatness.
Next up is Monday, August 17th. Morning brings a 5ft WNW swell, still short at 6 seconds, combined energy 131 (moderate). Wind is light offshore from the E at 3 mph, so it’s clean. The swell is a little bigger but still short-period and off-direction. Monday afternoon sees the swell jump to 6ft, combined energy 244 (moderate), with ESE wind at 12 mph cross-off. That’s your best window—bigger, but over 5ft, so it’s for more experienced surfers. The 6-second period means it’s a bit lumpy.
After that, Tuesday the 18th goes flat, Wednesday the 19th brings a 4ft straight onshore W swell with 12 mph wind—unrideable. The rest of the month is poor, with strong winds on the 21st and 22nd making it even worse.
Standout: The only real chance is Monday, August 17th, especially the afternoon with 6ft WNW swell and clean offshore wind. It’s not ideal—wrong direction, short period—but it’s the best of a bad lot. For beginners, it’s too big, so stick to the morning if you’re learning.
Water temp is about average for this time of year, no major anomaly.

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.
