Table - best surf conditions forecast for Almanarre over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what we've got on the cards.
First off, I'm not gonna lie, the next week and a bit is looking pretty grim for a surf at Almanarre. From Saturday the 11th right through to the 20th of July, it's basically a flat spell. You're looking at a solid 9 to 10 days of barely a ripple, with the odd tiny sliver of swell barely registering any energy. The water is currently sitting at a very unusual 78°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's way out of the ordinary.
The first real sign of life doesn't show up until Tuesday the 21st of July. The morning brings in a west swell of 5ft with a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 291, and we're looking at clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE. It's still on the smaller side, but it's a start. The trend improves into the afternoon, with the swell picking up to 6ft from the west, period still at 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumping to 378. The wind remains clean from the SSE, so the sets should be turning on. This is your standout window, but it's still a little on the smaller side for a big session and the short period means it'll be a bit more urgent.
Wednesday the 22nd sees the swell drop back significantly to 2ft with messy cross-on winds, so that Tuesday window is the one to circle. After that, Thursday the 23rd offers a small, clean 4ft west swell in the morning with 106 energy, but it's only really surfable, nothing to write home about. Then it looks like we're back into another flat, windy period for the weekend, with strong onshore winds on the 24th and 26th just ruining any chance of a wave. There’s a brief glassy moment on the morning of Saturday the 25th with a tiny 3ft west swell, but that’s about it.
So, to put it bluntly, the only real chance to get wet and actually catch something decent is on Tuesday the 21st of July. The afternoon will likely be the pick, with that bigger 6ft swell and clean wind. The rest of the forecast is pretty much a write-off for paddle surfing, though if you're into kite surfing, that strong onshore wind later on might be your thing.
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.
