The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s get into it.
Alright mate, I’ve gotta be straight with you – for the next 16 days, Almanarre is looking pretty flat or messy more often than not. The whole window is a bit of a write-off for decent surf, with nothing scoring above a zero in the guidance. The water temp is a wild one – sitting at 83°F, which is about 9°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you’ll be sweating in your wettie.
The first couple of days, Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th, are small and sloppy. Wednesday morning has a weak 4ft west swell with a short 5-second period and only 108 combined energy – weak stuff. Wind is cross-on from the WNW at 10 km/h, so it’s a bumpy, frustrated paddle. The afternoon gets even smaller and choppier. Thursday is tiny – 2ft to 2ft – with hardly any energy, and winds are either cross-off or onshore. Not worth getting wet.
Friday the 21st through Sunday the 23rd stays poor. A little bump in swell Saturday morning (2ft, WNW, 48 energy) is barely a ripple, and the wind is cross-on. Sunday morning has offshore ENE wind at 9 mph and a tiny 1.0ft west swell – clean but knee-high at best. That afternoon drops to 0.3ft. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th morning are flat with zero energy.
Then Tuesday the 25th afternoon things get weird – a 7ft west swell rolls in with 7-second period and strong combined energy of 409. That’s moderate-strong energy, but it’s onshore wind whipping in at 22 mph from the west. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” – it’s a choppy, blown-out mess. For most, this is too big and messy to enjoy; for beginners, forget it. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
We get a few more days of small, onshore junk from the 26th to the 29th. The 28th afternoon sees another pulse – 5ft west swell with 6-second period and 175 energy – but again, fresh onshore WNW wind at 22 mph makes it a blown-out washing machine. Not worth the drive.
The last few days into early September are mostly flat or tiny, with the only flicker of life on Thursday the 3rd morning: 0.7ft from the NNW with a 6-second period and a light offshore – clean but practically nothing.
There are no good surf options in the 16-day window. Almanarre is inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch is a classic blank run for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a waiting game.
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.
