The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are lookin’ pretty flat and sad for Almanarre. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just ain’t cooperating.
The water is a toasty 78°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a wild anomaly, makes you feel like you’re in the tropics rather than the Med. But all that warm water isn’t doing us any favors in the wave department.
For the first week, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. From now through to the 15th of September, the combined energy is mostly in the single digits or low double digits (like 12 or 3), which is basically a bathtub. You might see a tiny bump of 5ft from the WNW on the morning of the 10th, with clean conditions and a light offshore from the NE, giving it a score worth noting internally. But the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s gonna be weak and mushy. It’s surfable, just barely, but don’t expect much.
After that gap, there’s a brief flicker on the morning of the 17th of September. The swell bumps to 3ft from the WSW with a 5 second period. The wind is glassy – a slight air from the NNE – so it’ll be clean, but the energy is still low at 60. You could get a few grovelly ones, but that’s about it, and it fades fast. The afternoon of the 17th sees a little more height at 4ft from the W with a 7 second period and energy up to 157, but the wind swings cross-onshore from the SW and the conditions are lumpy. That’s not surfable for us, maybe more interesting for the kite crew.
The only other time with a bit of size and clean wind is the morning of the 21st, but that 4ft swell from the W is getting hammered by a 19 mph cross-onshore from the WNW. It’s lumpy and blown out. Straight-up messy.
So, the reality is: there are no true standouts in this 16-day window. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 10th if you’re desperate for a float, but even that is a weak, short-period swell. It’s just one of those quiet runs for the area.
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.
Almanarre is 6 km (4 miles) from Hyeres. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hyeres. Hyeres has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
