The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie, let's have a look. Rusty here.
Alright, truth be told, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Almanarre. The next couple of weeks are looking flat and uninspiring, with a real lack of energy in the water. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions and tiny waves stretching from now until the end of August. Honestly, the first date that even gets a flicker of life is the morning of August the 29th.
The main story is a period of very weak surf with combined wave energy rarely getting out of single digits (typically between 1 and 75) for most of the run. The swell is small and mostly short-period, around 4 to 6 seconds, which just doesn’t pack any punch for a proper point break like this. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, no real surprises there.
Let’s talk highlights. The one standout is the morning of Saturday, August 29th. There is a small, clean pulse of west-northwest swell around 3ft (combined energy of all swells directed here: 75). The wind will be light and offshore from the northeast, grooming the surf to be clean. It’s a very small window, weak energy, but for a dedicated surfer it’s the only real chance. Don't expect barrels; it’s mellow, surfable waves for beginners given the size is under 5ft. The break is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets.
A tiny bit of hope also shows on the morning of Sunday, August 30th, but with only 1ft on offer, it’s barely a ripple.
If you’re looking for a paddle, it’s a waiting game. The last week of August and into September shows little improvement and mostly flat conditions. If you have a kite, some of those afternoons with a stronger cross-shore breeze (like August 25th afternoon with 25 mph onshore wind) might look more interesting than a surfboard.
Overall, don't get your hopes up. This kind of blank run is more normal for the area.
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.
