The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this stretch of coast is looking pretty gutless for a good while. We’re staring down a real flat spell that’s gonna test your patience. The only spot we’ve got on the radar is Almanarre, and even that is a struggle for the foreseeable future. There’s a whole lot of nothing, then a few pulses of junky, short-period windswell that’ll have you checking your leash string more than your wave count.

The first few days are a total loss. There’s just nothing out there. We’re looking at a gap of about a week from now until we see anything with any kind of push. You’re better off finding a different hobby for a bit. It’s just one of those quiet stretches. But keep the chin up; it won't stay like this forever.

The first real sign of life shows up on Thursday the 20th of August. The swell starts to fill in a touch, but it’s sloppy. We’re looking at around 5ft from the WNW, but it’s short-period stuff at 6 seconds and it’s getting chopped up. The wind is howling onshore, so this will be messy. The water is also super warm for this time of year, about 83°F – that's a big anomaly, a good 9°F warmer than usual, so you won't need a wetsuit. This really isn't a surf window; with that strong onshore wind, you might as well rig up a kite because it'll be more fun than trying to paddle out into that. The combined energy is moderate at best, hitting 126, before jumping to 269 by the afternoon as it gets even bigger (to 6ft) and windier. This is experts-only territory, and even then, it won't be pretty.

After that, it gets messy and then flat again. The wind just keeps howling from the west. We get a little bump with cleaner conditions on Saturday the 22nd, with a small 3ft swell from the WNW, but a variable wind makes it a gamble. It’s weak energy, only about 42, so expect small, short-period waves.

There’s a second pulse on the morning of Monday the 24th of August, when the wind finally eases off. We get a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE and clean conditions with a 3ft swell from the W at 5 seconds. It might actually be surfable for a few grovels on a longboard, but it’s not going to be epic. It’s just the best of a pretty poor bunch. The combined energy is weak, around 41, so don't expect any power.

Honestly, the outlook is bleak. For the next week and a half, we have no clean, rideable waves. This stretch is normally more consistent, so a run like this is a bit of a surprise. But it happens. Keep your eyes on the forecast, because when this pattern breaks, it could get good in a hurry. For now, if you can’t find a wave, you might want to find a nice book.

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.
