The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you — it's a flat spell and a half for Almanarre. The water’s sitting at a balmy 77.5°, which is a solid 5.4° warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a real standout. But the waves? Barely a whisper for the first week. There's a long stretch from Tuesday, the 1st of September, right through to the morning of Wednesday the 9th, where the surf is just not worth paddling out for. We're talking tiny, weak swells under 1.6 ft with next to no energy behind them, mostly in the single digits (energy values like 1 to 21). The wind is a bit of a mess too, mostly cross or onshore, though you'll get a few glassy moments early on the 5th and the 7th of September.
The first real chance of something surfable isn't until the afternoon of Wednesday, the 9th of September. That's when we see a jump in swell to 5.2 ft from the west, with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of 193 (moderate). The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SSE, so that's a positive. The next morning, Thursday the 10th, holds a similar 4.6 ft swell from the WNW, with a 6-second period and energy of 131 (moderate), and a light offshore breeze keeping things clean. The 11th of September has a 3.3 ft west swell in the morning with clean conditions, and the 12th shows a 4.6 ft west swell in the afternoon, but with a cross-shore wind that'll put some ripples on the face.
So, looking at the whole 16 days, the only true standout window is the morning of Thursday, the 10th of September. Almanarre is a beginner-friendly spot, and this is a moderate 4.6 ft swell from the WNW with clean, light offshore wind. The swell period is only 6 seconds, so it's on the shorter side, but it's the best combo of size and clean conditions across the whole forecast. The afternoon of the 9th is also worth a mention for the 5.2 ft swell, but it's a touch more energy and might be a bit much for the beginners, while the 10th morning is a little more user-friendly. Keep in mind, Almanarre can be inconsistent, so when it turns on, you gotta be ready.
The second week, from the 13th onwards, drops right back off to nothing again. It's a real bummer.

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.
