The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the window ahead for Almanarre.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 25°, which is 2° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s pretty notable – feels like a warm bath out there.
Honestly, I’m not going to sugarcoat it: the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for any sort of decent paddle session. From the 31st of August right through to the morning of the 9th of September, the swell is tiny, wind is wrong, or there’s simply nothing breaking. The combined energy barely registers – mostly single-digit values (2, 10, 48) – real weak stuff. Winds are mostly onshore or cross, and the swell heights are a measly 0.7 ft to 3 ft with short periods of 3 to 5 seconds. You’re looking at flat, bumpy, or just messy conditions. There’s a long gap of about 9 days with no real surf to get excited about.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. We get a pulse of 6 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 6 seconds (so still short-period, windswell stuff). The combined energy jumps to 173 (moderate wave energy). The wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s clean. But the period is short, so the waves will be a bit crumbly and close together. It’s a surfable wave, but very ordinary conditions as the file says. Given the size, it’s okay for beginners and intermediates, but not a standout.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The 10th of September is flat again, and the 11th is a total loss with strong cross-onshore winds hitting 28 mph. That’s kite-surfing weather, not for a paddle board. The 12th and 13th have some clean conditions with offshore or cross-off winds, but the swell is tiny – 2 ft at best. The 14th and 15th are similar, just clean but flat.
So, the only notable day in the whole 16-day run is the morning of the 9th of September. It’s not a classic, but if you’re desperate and the glass is on, you might get a few grovelly ones. The rest of the time? Save the wax.
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.
