The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what we've got for the Almanarre region over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a tough one for the next few days. The beginning of the period is a proper write-off for any decent surf. We're looking at a solid four or five days from the 24th through to the 29th of August where the swell is next to nothing, and when it does show a pulse, it's tiny and weak, or the wind is completely wrong. It's a real bummer, but a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area when the weather patterns just don't line up.
You have to wait until the 2nd of September for anything worth a look. That Wednesday morning pops up with a bit of potential. The swell picks up to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is still on the low side (97), so it's not a powerful swell, but the real highlight here is the wind. It's dead calm, glassy, and the water temp is sitting at about 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a rare treat for Almanarre. It'll be small, clean, and perfect for a beginner to get some practice in on a longboard. It won't be setting the world on fire, but that morning session is the only real standout on offer.
The rest of the forecast after that drops back into tiny, choppy, or onshore junk. The 4th of September Friday afternoon goes glassy again, but with only 3ft of swell on offer, it's a similar story – small cleanup cruisers.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a no-go. The only real chance to get a wet suit on and catch a few crumbly, clean waves is the morning of the 2nd of September. Keep an eye on it, but don't get your hopes too high for anything else.
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.
