The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Lookin' over the Almanarre stretch for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough one. The pattern is flat, real flat. We've got a long, dry run of tiny, inconsistent slop or just plain nothing. The first week is basically a write-off, and even the second week doesn't look like it's gonna save us.
We start off Saturday, September 5th, with a tiny 0.6ft, 3-second wind swell from the WSW. That's weak energy (2), and with a cross-onshore breeze, it's choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for. The whole first week is the same story – tiny waves, poor winds, and energy levels that barely register.
We get a bit of a pulse on Wednesday, September 9th, in the afternoon. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the west, with a 6-second period, giving a combined energy of 175 (moderate). Sounds promising, but the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore, making it lumpy and blown out. It's a "poor surf conditions" call, and I'd say that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Beginners should stay well clear of that 5ft, as it's pushing the limit.
The rest of the week is more of the same – flat spells, choppy conditions, and a lot of zeros in the energy column. The second week is a little more consistent with tiny waves, but the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the quality low. There's a moment on Saturday, September 19th, in the afternoon, where we get a clean 0.6ft from the south with a 5-second period and a moderate offshore breeze. It's clean, but it's still tiny.
So, the honest truth is there's no standout session here. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no excuses there. It's just a flat spell. If you're desperate for a paddle, maybe the early morning of Sunday, September 6th, with a clean 1ft from the WSW and a gentle cross-offshore breeze, but that's a stretch. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I'd be polishing the board.
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.
