The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here.
Well, I gotta say, looking at the next couple of weeks for Almanarre, it’s a tough one. The good news is, the water is absolutely roasting, sitting at 81°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The bad news? There’s basically no surf to speak of for the vast majority of the forecast.
We’re looking at a solid 15-day gap of nothing even close to worthwhile. From now until the 17th of August, the swell is tiny, mostly under 1ft, and the wind is all over the shop. The combined energy of all swells is weak, often just a 1 or a 5 (0-9). It’s just flat, poor surf conditions day after day. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 7th and 8th where the swell touches 4ft, but the wind is a mess – cross-on or onshore – and the quality is still rated as poor. The energy does bump up to 112 then 106 (moderate), but it’s not worth getting excited about.
Then, finally, on the morning of Monday the 18th of August, we see a real change. The swell jumps to 5ft from the WNW with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 184 (moderate). But here’s the kicker – the wind is howling from the WNW at 15 mph, and it’s onshore. The setup is a beach and reef, and with that much wind, it’s going to be a messy, choppy mess. Honestly, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The afternoon gets even worse with 28 mph onshore wind.
So, what’s the best on offer? There isn’t one. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the mornings of the 16th and 17th might have a tiny, glassy 1.0ft wave, but it’s not going to be a ride. This is a proper dry spell, mate. Blank runs like this are normal for the area when the conditions just don't line up.
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.
