The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about what’s on offer in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a pretty grim stretch for the waves. The forecast is a long, drawn-out run of poor surf, with very little to get excited about. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with no real standout sessions, and the first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Thursday morning, September 3rd, and even then it’s a tiny, weak little thing.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
So, the only spot on the radar is Almanarre. It’s an exposed, inconsistent beginner’s break that rarely fires. The first few days, from the 3rd to the 7th, are all tiny, short-period windswell. Think 1 ft to 2 ft from the west, with periods barely hitting 5 seconds. The combined energy is in the low single digits (between 1 and 15), which is about as weak as it gets. The wind is often cross-off or clean, but there’s just no swell to push it. Thursday the 3rd morning has a little 2 ft bump with a light NE cross-off, but it’s just not enough to ride.
There’s a bit of a tease on Tuesday the 8th afternoon, when the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the west, and the energy jumps to 83 (moderate). But the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. Still, it’s the biggest push in the whole run. Wednesday morning the 9th has 4 ft from the west with a period of 7 seconds and energy hitting 154 (moderate), but a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore will chop it up badly. Not worth paddling for.
After that, it’s back to flat or tiny, messy slop. The swell just disappears again. The 10th through the 14th have days with nothing but glassy, clean conditions, but no waves. The 15th and 16th offer a tiny 1 ft to 2 ft west-southwest swell, but it’s weak and short-period. The wind improves to offshore on the 16th afternoon, but with only 2 ft and 4 seconds, it’s still a lake.
The 17th and 18th bring in stronger onshore winds (25 mph on the Thursday afternoon), but the swell is still a pathetic 2 ft. That’s not surf, that’s just whitecaps for the kite crowd.
There is no standout session. The best on offer is the Tuesday 8th afternoon, with 4 ft swell, but it’s a long way off and the light cross-onshore won’t help. It’s a real shame, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a blank run.
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.
