The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a quiet stretch for Almanarre. Over the whole 16-day period, there are no good surf options to get excited about. The swell energy stays low, and most days the wave comment says “poor surf conditions,” so there’s nothing really rideable that’s worth paddling out for. The first few days have tiny swell with weak energy (only 6 to 34 on the combined energy scale) and short periods around 4 to 5 seconds, which means little to no shape. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 78°, so that’s a little unusual if you’re planning a swim.
There’s a small bump in energy on Thursday morning the 10th of September, with 4ft of swell from the west and a period of 7 seconds, and combined energy hitting 181. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making things choppy, so it’s still not recommended for surfing. After that, it drops right back down to tiny or flat conditions for days. For a stretch from the 13th through to the 20th of September, there’s effectively nothing – just flat spells with occasional knee-high dribble.
Because the swell is so small and inconsistent, and Almanarre is an exposed beach setup, this kind of blank run is more normal for the area. There’s just not enough push for a decent wave. If the swell was bigger with these winds, it might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, but that’s not the case here.
There’s no standout session in the whole window. Even by the 21st of September, with some offshore wind, the swell is only 2ft from the west with 5-second period and combined energy just 14. That’s not enough to get excited about. So sit tight, check back later – forecasts can change.
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.
