The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let’s talk about the surf this week.
Mate, it’s a mostly flat spell for the most part. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—almost tropical feeling, but we’re not getting the swell to match it, unfortunately. The first solid window of opportunity is a long way out, so don’t rush to check your gear just yet.
The entire first week and the start of the second week are a write-off. Thursday the 10th, we’ve got strong cross-onshore wind ripping across Almanarre, messing any chance of surf right up. Friday pushes a tiny swell of 4ft from the WNW, but the period is short at 6 seconds, and the wind is cross. It’s not worth paddling out. Saturday and Sunday are even smaller, with knee-high dribble. That pattern holds true through to the middle of the following week—nothing worth getting excited about, just clean flat days with glassy mornings and tiny wind ripples.
But, if you look out deep into the forecast, there’s a glimmer. On Tuesday the 22nd of September, the energy picks up suddenly. The morning shows a wave of 5ft from the west, combined energy of all swells directed here is 304—a moderate bump. Problem is, the wind is a light cross-shore, but the conditions are still only rated as marginal. It’s not the clean glass you want. The real bright spot appears the next day, on Wednesday the 23rd of September, in the afternoon. The swell holds at around 5ft from the west, but the period stretches to 8 seconds and the wind turns offshore from the ESE. That’s gentle offshore and clean water, and the energy reading sits at 223 (moderate). This is the standout of the 16-day window. Almanarre (France) will be worth a look then. The swell direction is south-west, which matches what this break wants, wind is clean, and the break is exposed. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have a few others thinking the same thing.
For the weeks of nothing, we’ve got a solid 12 days of flat or junk. The 23rd is the only true option. It’s a while away, but promising. Keep an eye on it.

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.
