The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the outlook for Almanarre for the next couple of weeks. Fair warning, it’s a tough stretch, so don’t be expecting any fireworks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a whole lot of nothing. For the first week and a half, the swell is tiny and the conditions are flat. We’re looking at a solid gap with no real surf on offer from now until early September. The first record shows Wednesday the 26th of August, with a tiny 1ft SW swell but it’s a poor surf call – just not enough push. Most days after that see wave heights below 2ft and a combined energy so low it barely registers (like 17 or even 1 for Monday the 31st). You’d be better off cleaning your wax off the board than paddling out.
There is a little bump of energy trying to show up around the 1st and 2nd of September. Tuesday the 1st has a 5ft WNW swell with a combined wave energy of 131, but the wind is howling from the WNW at 16 mph, making it a messy cross-onshore chop. Not the clean lines we want. Wednesday the 2nd is similar with a 4ft WNW swell (139 energy), but again the wind messes it up. This setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
The one true standout in this whole forecast comes right at the very end of the run. On Thursday the 10th of September, we see a 5ft W swell with a combined energy of 142 and the wind goes glassy – that’s right, no wind at all. The conditions are clean. For a spot like Almanarre, which is an exposed SW break, a clean 5ft W swell is about as good as it gets in a flat spell. That’s the day to circle. Keep in mind that this is over a week away, so treat it as a promising but less certain prospect.
Overall, this is a lean run. It’s one of those periods where the Mediterranean just doesn’t deliver. Hold tight for that Thursday the 10th session.

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.
