The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with ya. The outlook for Almanarre over the next 16 days is a real tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch where the surf just ain’t showing up with any quality. The good news is, the water is properly warm – 81° – which is a solid 8° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so at least it’ll be a nice paddle if you’re just floating around.
But let’s talk about the waves. Honestly, there’s nothing here that I’d get excited about. The whole 16-day window is basically a dud. From Sunday 2nd August right through to Monday 17th August, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The highest swell we see is a 5 ft from the west on Sunday afternoon the 9th, but that’s paired with a moderate cross-onshore breeze and a combined energy of 181 – which is moderate energy – but the period is only 6 seconds, so it’s weak, short-period windswell, and the wind is chopping it up. Not worth the drive.
The best chance of a clean wave comes on Saturday morning, 15th August, with a 2 ft swell from the west, period of 5 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the northeast at 6 mph. That’s clean, but the size is tiny. Combined energy is only 25 – weak. It’s a beginner-friendly wave but barely breaking.
Honestly, if you’re looking to paddle surf, you’re better off staying home. The setup here with the bigger, onshore, short-period swell and beach-and-reef setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The whole period is a gap with no real standouts. I’d say wait for the next forecast, because things tend to change, but right now it’s a blank run.

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.
