The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Almanarre is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. The first real surf worth talking about doesn’t show up until Thursday, 10 September, and even then it’s barely a whisper.

Right now, and for the next week and a half, it’s mostly flat or tiny, wonky wind swell. The water is a balmy 78°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – about 5°F above average, so it’s very unusual. But that’s about the only exciting thing. The combined swell energy is practically non-existent, sitting at just 2 on Monday morning, and it barely climbs. We’re talking limp, short-period dribble from the WSW and W, with periods of 3 to 5 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not real surf. The winds are mostly onshore or cross, making it messy.

Thursday, 10 September is the only real glimmer. The morning brings a clean, offshore wind from the ENE at 3 mph, with a tiny 4 ft swell from the west, period of 6 seconds. Combined energy is 89, which is still weak. The afternoon holds a similar 4 ft west swell, period 5 seconds, 86 energy, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The waves are rideable but very ordinary. It’s small, weak, and the wind is just about okay. For a more experienced surfer, it’s a session to get wet, but nothing to get excited about.

The rest of the second week – Friday 11 September through to Tuesday 15 September – is a real letdown. It’s tiny, inconsistent, and mostly flat. The swell drops back to 1 ft to 2 ft with energy ratings in the single digits or low teens. The only saving grace is that the wind is often clean, but with no wave to push, it’s just a glassy lake.

If you're a beginner, the swell never gets above 5 ft, so it’s not too big, but it’s also not good. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality surf. Almanarre is a spot that’s exposed to the SW, but the swell just isn't lining up. This is one of those stretches where the forecast can change, so don’t lose hope, but for now, I’d keep the board in the car.

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.
