The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is – Almanarre is in a flat spell. This 16-day window starts with a whole lot of nothing, and the first few days are all tiny, weak, poor-quality waves. The water temp is 78°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – about 5° above average, pretty unusual.
We start on Monday 31st August. It’s a no-go. Tiny 2ft swell from the WSW with a shocking 4-second period, and a strong 19 mph onshore wind from the west. The combined energy is only 13 – super weak. Not worth paddling out.
Tuesday 1st September morning picks up a little, 3ft from the WNW, but the period is still short at 5 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. Energy is 61 – still weak. Afternoon drops to 1ft. Wednesday and Thursday are similar – tiny, wind-affected, and offering nothing. There’s a clean moment on Friday 4th September morning with a tiny 0.7ft swell and a light cross-offshore breeze, but there’s no real energy (energy value 1). It’s clean but flat.
Then we hit a long gap. From Friday 4th afternoon all the way through to the morning of Wednesday 9th September, it’s either flat or laughably small. Not a single session worth mentioning.
Wednesday 9th September afternoon finally brings a change. Swell builds to 4ft from the WNW, period up to 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 113 – moderate wave energy. Wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. It’s surfable but ordinary. This is the first real chance you’ve got.
Thursday 10th September afternoon looks a bit better: 5ft from the west, 6-second period, energy jumps to 158, and the wind is light cross-offshore. Still ordinary, but getting there.
Now, the standout. Friday 11th September morning. Swell is 6ft from the west, period 6 seconds, and the combined energy is 190 – the best in the whole run. The wind is glassy – dead calm – and it’s clear skies. This is the one. Almanarre can handle that size, and with glassy conditions it’ll be clean. Keep in mind, this break is inconsistent, so when it lines up like this, you take it. Crowds are sometimes an issue, but with it being a weekday morning, you might get lucky. The swell direction is from the west, right in the optimum SW range listed for this spot. This is the pick of the whole 16 days.
After that, it drops off again. Friday 11th afternoon goes flat. Saturday and Sunday are mostly flat with tiny, clean leftovers. Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th are flat again. The last couple of days show tiny 0.7-1ft swells from the west with very low energy.
Overall, this is a quiet run for Almanarre. Don’t expect much wave action until Wednesday 9th, and the only real highlight is that Friday 11th morning session. After that, it’s back to the flats. The wait is long, but that one glassy, moderate-sized morning could be worth the patience.
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.
