The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next two weeks at Almanarre are a real heartbreaker. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The water is sitting at 79°, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath out there, but you won’t be needing a wetsuit to stay warm, just to sit on your board.
The first real pulse of energy doesn’t show up until Sunday the 8th of August. We get a little jump in the afternoon with a waist-high 4ft swell from the west-northwest, but it’s a short-period 6-second windswell, so it’s gonna be weak and a bit crumbly. The combined energy is only 176 (moderate), and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SSE, so the surface will be tidy. But it’s a one-day wonder; the next morning the wind swings onshore and it’s back to junk.
Before that, the entire week from now through to Saturday the 9th is a write-off. There’s a tiny window Tuesday morning (28th July) with a 2ft, 5-second swell and clean offshore winds from the ENE, but the energy is a pathetic 20 (weak). You’d be fighting for a dribble. Most days are glassy or with light wind, but there’s just no swell to push anything through.
The only true standout is that Saturday afternoon (8th August) window. The break (Almanarre) is exposed to the west, so anything from the WNW can wrap in, but with a short period, it’s going to be a bit dumpy on the shorebreak. The wind is perfect, though, so it’ll be the cleanest surf of the entire forecast. It’s still small and short-period, so if you’re a beginner, the 4ft might be a little challenging, but it’s not dangerous. Expect crowds though – this spot gets “sometimes” busy, and on a clean Saturday afternoon in summer, that’s likely.
After that, the following week looks equally grim. We’ve got another 10 days of near-zero swell and light winds, but nothing with any push. The 6th of August has a morning pulse of 3ft from the west (33 energy) but it’s still weak, and the afternoon on the 6th pushes 5ft with 6-second period and 170 energy – but that’s all windswell and will be a mess with the onshore winds predicted.
In short: if you’re desperate for a surf, pin your hopes on the 8th of August afternoon. Everything else is a waiting game. The spot is consistent in that it can hold a swell, but this run is a blank one. It’s not a bad break, just a bad forecast.
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.
