The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. For the entire sixteen-day run, there’s not a single surf recommendation worth paddling out for. Every session is rated as poor surf conditions, and the numbers back it up. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead with barely a ripple to work with.
The water’s sitting at a very warm 80°F on the 30th of July when we start, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s about the only interesting thing going on here at Almanarre, a beginner break that's exposed to the SW. The problem is, we just don’t have any swell.
Right from the start on Thursday the 30th of July, you’re looking at tiny 0.3ft to 1ft dribble with short, weak periods around 3 to 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 1 to 2 (1 to 2). Winds are a problem too, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. That pattern just keeps rolling.
Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August are more of the same. Tiny 1.0ft to 2ft swell, high teens for wind speeds, and cross-onshore wind. It’s not surfable. There’s a bit of a clean-up on Sunday the 2nd with some cross-offshore breeze, but the swell’s gone. We’re down to 1.0ft to 1ft with energy dropping to 3 or 6.
From Monday the 3rd all the way through to Wednesday the 13th of August, it’s a near-flat to totally flat desert. The combined energy is often zero, and the odd blip of 0.3ft or 0.7ft from a 6-second period is all you get. Some mornings offer glassy or offshore winds, but with zero swell, it doesn’t matter.
Finally, on Thursday the 13th of August, there’s a change in the wind. A strong breeze from the WNW at 28 mph kicks up some onshore slop, with a 2ft swell and a 7-second period. The combined energy hits 44. But honestly, that’s a blown-out, onshore mess – more of a kite-surfing setup than anything for a paddle surfer. The 14th of August fades out with a tiny 1ft windswell and that’s that.
It's a blank run, and for this area, that’s not too unusual. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car.

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.
