The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Almanarre stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a real struggle. We're looking at a long, frustrating gap with no real surf to speak of. From now, right through the end of July and into the first couple of days of August, it's a ghost town. The swell is either non-existent or so tiny and weak it's not worth paddling out for. The wind is constantly messing things up, bouncing around from onshore to cross-shore, and the wave energy is just pathetic. It's a long, dry spell.
Now, there is a tiny flicker of hope right at the tail end. On Monday morning, the 3rd of August, we might see a little bump. The models are showing a 3.6ft groundswell rolling in from the west, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 107, so it's not going to be firing. The real kicker is the wind – it's forecast to be glassy. That's about the only positive here. For a spot that's usually exposed, getting that clean, mirror-like surface is a major win. But the swell is tiny, so it's really just a chance to get wet on some small, clean waves. Don't expect anything with any push.
After that, Tuesday the 4th sees a jump in size to 5.2ft from the west-northwest, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 173, but it's going to be a cross-onshore mess. The wind will ruin any chance of a decent shape.
So, there's no standout session here. The only real option is that glassy Monday morning on the 3rd of August, but it's for the small-wave crew only. The water is about average for the time of year.

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.
