The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Almanarre.
Straight up, I’ll be honest with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. We’re staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell with hardly any real swell to get excited about. The first proper surfable waves don’t show up until Monday the 27th of July, and even then it’s nothing to write home about. For the first ten days, from Friday the 17th through Sunday the 26th, the ocean is basically asleep. There are a few tiny bumps here and there, but the wave heights are all below 3 ft, and the energy readings are pitiful – mostly single digits or low teens, with a lot of zeroes. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making it a messy, choppy affair. Honestly, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one for most of that stretch.
The water temperature at Almanarre is a balmy 80°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than the long-term average – that’s very unusual, so you won’t need a wetsuit, just a board.
Now, there is one tiny glimmer of hope. On Monday the 27th of July, we get a little spike early. The morning shows a 3 ft W swell with a period of 7 seconds, bringing a moderate combined energy of 91. The wind is glassy from the ENE, making it clean. The spot is a beginner-friendly, exposed break that works best on a SW swell, so this westerly direction is a bit off, but it's the only game in town. Don’t expect any kind of quality; the conditions are described as ordinary, but it’s surfable. It’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets. Crowds are possible here, so get there early if you’re keen.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the period through to the 1st of August is more of the same – tiny, weak waves with poor wind. This is a tough run for the area.
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.
