The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. Almanarre is the only spot in the window, and it’s a tough run. The water is sitting at 80°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—over 7°F warmer than usual, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The first real hint of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Monday afternoon, 27 July. Before that, it’s a dead zone. Thursday the 23rd through Sunday the 26th are all flat or offering tiny, weak ripples that aren’t worth suiting up for. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the combined energy is in the single digits or almost zero most days.
Monday afternoon, 27 July, things finally wake up a little. A swell from the west at 5ft with a 7-second period rolls in, and the combined energy jumps to 209 (moderate). That’s the standout of the whole run. The wind is offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, which will keep things clean. It’s a short-period swell, so it won’t have that long-period grunt, but the wind is the real win here. For a point break setup like Almanarre, a little west swell with clean offshore wind can be fun, even if it’s not massive. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out, but it won’t be a circus.
After that, it drops off again. Tuesday the 28th through to the end of the forecast on Friday 7 August is mostly flat, with tiny little pulses of 0.3ft to 2ft. The combined energy stays below 20 most of the time. There are a few mornings with glassy or offshore conditions (like Wednesday morning 29 July and Tuesday morning 4 August), but there’s simply no swell to work with. It’s a clean ocean with nothing to ride.
If you’re a beginner, some of those tiny, clean days could be a lesson opportunity, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, this is a long stretch of nothing. The waves are just too small and weak to be exciting. If the wind kicks up with that little swell, it’ll be more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.
Overall, the only real window is that Monday afternoon. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best on offer.
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.
Almanarre is 6 km (4 miles) from Hyeres. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hyeres. Hyeres has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
