The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – if you’re hanging out for a proper surf at Almanarre over the next couple of weeks, you’re gonna be doing a lot of waiting. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent wave riding. There’s just nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for.
The pattern starts with a big fat zero. From Sunday the 9th of August right through to Friday the 22nd of August, it’s all “poor surf conditions” – flat spells, tiny dribbles, or messy onshore junk. The combined swell energy barely gets off the floor, sitting at single digits or low double digits most of the time, which is basically weak. You’ve got a lot of days with nothing, and the few times a little 0.7ft to 1ft pulse shows up, the period is a pathetic 2 to 4 seconds – that’s just wind slop, not real swell. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making a mess of the tiny waves that do pop up. For a break that’s exposed to a SW optimum, the swell direction is often WSW or W, which isn’t ideal either.
The one brief flicker comes on Saturday the 22nd of August. The afternoon shows a 5ft swell from the west, with a 6-second period and a combined energy of 177 (moderate wave energy). The wind is cross-offshore and clean, which is a positive. But that’s still a short-period swell, and the description is “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s the only day with a score above zero, and it only scrapes a 1 out of 10. The following Sunday and Monday have cleaner winds but the swell drops right back down to nothing or small, choppy leftovers.
Honestly, for a spot like Almanarre that’s listed as inconsistent, a blank run like this isn’t that unusual. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on that Saturday afternoon, given the moderate energy and clean cross-off wind. For the rest of the days, you’re better off finding something else to do. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
