The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Almanarre. The next 16 days are a real mixed bag, and I have to be straight with you – there’s a lot of flat days to sit through before we get anything that’s actually worth paddling out for. The forecast shows a big gap of disappointment upfront. You’ll be waiting a good while.
From the 1st of September right through to the morning of the 10th, it’s pretty much a write-off. Tiny waves, poor conditions, or just flat. The water’s sitting at 77°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive. You’ll be staring at a lake-like surface most days, especially with that light offshore breeze on the 7th giving a glassy morning, but with a swell of just 1.0ft, there’s nothing to ride.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope comes on the 10th of September for the Thursday morning session. We finally get a pulse of 4ft swell coming from the west with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 178, so there’s some push there. The wind is light and off the ENE, making the conditions clean. It’s surfable, but it’s pretty ordinary. You won’t be getting any barrels, but it’s a chance to get wet after a long dry spell.
The next day, the 11th of September, the swell bumps up a bit to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 6 seconds and energy at 111. However, the wind swings onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, which is a problem. It’s going to be a messy, choppy affair. Then it gets worse in the afternoon with a strong breeze, so that one’s a miss. After that, it’s back to tiny, clean waves but nothing with any power.
I honestly can’t point to a standout here. The best on offer is the Thursday morning, the 10th of September. It’s a clean, small wave with a bit of energy. Get on it early, because the wind turns onshore later. The rest of the period is just small, clean conditions with no real swell to speak of, or messy onshore wind. Almanarre is a spot that needs a good swell and clean wind to really shine, and we just don’t have that in this window. It’s a frustrating outlook for the region.

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.
