The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Alright, if you’re looking for a surf this week, you’re going to be waiting a while. We've got a real flat spell on our hands for the next several days at Almanarre. The first chunk of the forecast is a write-off. You're looking at tiny, unrideable junk from Tuesday the 11th right through to the 17th. That's a solid week of nothing doing. The energy levels are basically zero (0 to 1), and what little bump there is from the west or southwest is barely a ripple. Honestly, it’s a real bummer. The only thing worth noting in this first week is that the water temp is about average for this time of year.
Things finally start to look a little more promising heading into Tuesday the 18th of August. We get a bit of a pulse from the west, pushing up to 3 ft on the morning, then building to 5 ft in the afternoon. The swell period is a weak 5-6 seconds, so it's disorganised, but the real story is the wind. It swings offshore from the east, cleaning things up nicely. For the afternoon, we see a good offshore breeze (E, 15 mph) making the surface clean. The combined energy jumps up to a moderate 187. It’s still small and a bit raw, but it’s the first surfable option in over a week.
The standout, though, is a bit further out. Hold onto your boards for Sunday the 23rd of August. Now we’re talking. The swell from the west builds to a solid 5 ft, with a six-second period. The combined energy is a decent 176, so there’s some push. But the absolute key here is the wind. The morning is glassy, absolutely calm. For Almanarre, which can get choppy, a clean, glassy morning with a solid 5 ft west swell is a rare treat. For the more experienced surfers, this is your window. It’s not huge, but with that light air, it’ll be the best the whole forecast has to offer. The swell is just a bit over 5 ft, so it might be a little much for beginners, but for everyone else, get on it. The afternoon does turn a bit cross-onshore, so don't sleep in.
To be honest, other than the Sunday 23rd, there’s not much else to sing about. The rest of the window is mostly tiny or blown out. The 18th is ok, but the 23rd is the real winner. It’s promising, but it’s also over a week away, so don’t book the day off work just yet.
Stay stoked.

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.
