The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Almanarre’s got cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough start. The whole first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a solid stretch of flat, weak, or just plain blown-out conditions from now through the 14th of August. There are a few pulses of energy around the 7th and 8th, with swell heights around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore, turning it into a choppy mess. Not worth paddling out for. The water temp is what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The real wait is for the 15th of August. That’s when we finally get a little window of something decent. Saturday morning kicks off with surfable waves, around 4ft from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. It’s clean with a light cross-offshore breeze.
But the standout is Saturday afternoon. That’s the pick of the whole outlook. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the west, period stretching to 7 seconds. The wind goes light and cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. This is your moment. Almanarre is an exposed spot, and with that setup, those waves should have some shape. It’s not going to be huge, but after all that flatness, it’ll feel like a gift. Just a heads up, the crowds can be a pain here sometimes, so get out there and claim your spot.
After that high point, the 16th of August sees the swell drop back a touch and the wind swings onshore again, turning things ugly. By the 17th, it’s flat and blown out. So, there’s only one real session worth chasing: the afternoon of the 15th. Mark it on your calendar.

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.
