The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer here in the Hyères area. I’m not gonna lie, the next week and a bit is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much happening, so don’t get your hopes up too early.
For the first few days, there’s barely a ripple. A bit of small stuff might show up on Thursday the 16th with a tiny 2ft SW swell, but it’s so weak you’d be fighting for scraps. The wind is light and glassy in the morning, so it’d be clean, but the energy is next to nothing (10). Through to the weekend and into the start of the next week, it’s the same story—small, weak swells and onshore winds that’ll chop it up. Not worth a paddle.
Now, we’ve got a long wait, but keep your eye on Sunday the 26th. The afternoon at Almanarre (Hyères) might finally kick into gear. We’re looking at a 6ft swell from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 218, which is a proper moderate push. The wind is a cross-offshore from the SSE, so it should be clean. This is the standout of the whole window. The water is sitting at 79°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than usual for this time of year—very unusual, almost like a warm bath.
The Monday after that, the 27th, has a bit of size too, with a 3ft WSW swell, but the wind is screaming offshore at 22 mph. That’s fresh and will blow the tops off, making it tricky for anything but a really clean, fast wave. It’s one for the experienced crew only.
Overall, the pick of the entire 16 days is that Sunday afternoon session on the 26th. It’s the only time the swell and wind line up for something decent. The rest of the time? A lot of waiting and watching the horizon.

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.
