The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, checkin’ in from the local stretch. Alright, I’ll be straight with you—this forecast is a tough one to swallow. We’ve got a long, dry spell of no real surf to speak of for over a week and a half. The first decent bump that’s even worth paddlin’ out for doesn’t show up until Sunday the 23rd of August, and even then, it’s barely a ripple. From now until then, it’s a whole lot of flat, weak, and choppy conditions. The wind’s been all over the shop, mostly cross-shore or onshore, with a few glassy mornings that don’t have any wave energy behind ’em. The combined swell energy sits at zero or just a few measly points—nothin’ to get excited about.
So, the first half of this outlook is a washout. You’ll be itch’n for a wave, but the ocean’s just not givin’ anythin’ up. The only real standout, if you can call it that, is on the afternoon of Sunday the 23rd of August at Almanarre. The swell is comin’ from the west at 4 ft, with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is just 82 (weak). That’s nothin’ special, but it’s the best we’ve got. The wind turns offshore from the east at 12 mph, which cleans it up nicely, makin’ it glassy. The break is exposed to the southwest, and the optimum swell direction is southwest, so that west swell is a bit off-angle, but it’ll still wrap in. Still, the waves are short-period and weak, so it’s more of a limp than a pump. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out, but it’s not goin’ to be packed for this.
For the rest of the window, it’s a mess. The 26th of August brings a bit more size—4 ft from the west-northwest on the Wednesday morning, with energy climbin’ to 134 (moderate), but the wind is howlin’ onshore at 25 mph, makin’ it unsurfable for a paddle. That’s a kite-surfing set-up, not one for a surfboard. The period is short at 5 seconds, so it’s just wind-chop.
In short, the only day worth a look is that Sunday the 23rd, and even then, keep your expectations on the floor. It’s been a barren run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes—forecasts can change, but for now, we’re on a flat spell.
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.
