The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Almanarre. Gotta be straight with you: the next 16 days are a write-off. There’s no solid swell, no real energy, and the wind is going to be a hassle more often than not. Let’s break it down.
The water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is a whopping 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a big anomaly – the water is bathwater warm, so grab a spring suit or a rashie if you’re feeling the heat.
The forecast is completely empty of decent surf. The first few days are a total dud. Saturday morning (1st August) has a tiny 1-ft swell from the WSW with a pathetic 3-second period and only 2 units of combined energy – that’s weaker than a ripple. Wind is from the WNW, onshore, and it’s rated as poor surf. Saturday afternoon is similar: 3-ft from the WSW, 4-second period, 24 units of energy, but the wind swings to WSW at 25 km/h, cross-onshore, and it’s choppy. No good.
Sunday morning (2nd August) sees a glassy offshore breeze from the E at 15 km/h, but the swell is still only 2-ft from the WSW, 4-second period, and just 11 units of energy. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The whole week barely ticks over. Monday (3rd) has zero swell in the morning and just 0.3-ft in the afternoon. Tuesday (4th) offers 0.6-ft. Wednesday (5th) is 0.6-ft. The morning of Friday (7th) has the biggest swell of the entire 16 days – 4-ft from the W, 6-second period, and 142 units of combined energy. That’s moderate energy, but the period is short, the wind is light cross-shore, and it’s still rated poor. The afternoon turns onshore again.
After that, it’s back to ankle-biters. The weekend of 8th–9th August has 2-ft swells with glassy conditions in the mornings, but the energy is tiny (23 and 16 units). The wind is clean, but the waves are flat. Monday (10th) has a 3-ft swell from the W, 5-second period, 90 units of energy, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NW. Not worth paddling out.
The second week is more of the same: nothing above 3-ft, and the best energy you’ll see is 56 units on Saturday afternoon (15th) with a 3-ft swell from the W, 7-second period, but the wind is onshore from the W at 20 km/h. The final day (16th August) has a 1-ft wave with a W wind howling at 30 km/h in the morning, then 45 km/h in the afternoon. That’s a kite-flying wind, not a surf wind.
Bottom line: there’s not a single standout, not one window of quality surf in the entire 16-day span. The break is inconsistent, and the swell is just not cooperating. For a spot like Almanarre, that’s a tough run, but it happens. Keep an eye on the charts – things can flip quick.

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.
