The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you—this is a tough one. The outlook for the next 16 days at Almanarre is a real dry spell. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing substantial, with a few small, ordinary windows that just aren't worth getting excited about.
The first chance for a paddle is Saturday morning, September 12th. There's a bump of 5ft from the WNW, but the energy is weak (163). The wind is light and cross-off, so it'll be clean, but the swell is short-period and messy. It's surfable, but it's barely a blip on the radar. That's the only day with any real height, and it's a far cry from good.
From there, it's a long, flat, and quiet slide into nothing. The rest of the week is tiny—knee-high at best—with clean, light winds, but no power behind it. The second week is even worse, with almost no swell at all. The water is running at 79°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, like a bathtub.
Honestly, if you're desperate for a surf, Saturday morning is your only chance to get wet, but don't expect much. The rest of the window is a write-off. For this area, a blank run like this is more normal than you'd hope. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the days with any wind.
Stay patient, mates. Forecasts can change.
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.
