Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down the forecast for Almanarre.
Flat. That’s the word. This whole 16-day stretch is a long run of tiny, weak swell and quiet conditions. The water temp is a toasty 78°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so the lake feels good, but there’s just no push for surfing.
On Friday the 3rd of July, we get a little 3ft west swell with a short period of 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (63). The wind is light and cross from the north, so it’s not blown out, but the surf is poor. That afternoon, the swell bumps up to 3ft (106 energy), and the wind turns light cross-offshore, so it cleans up. That’s the best we see for a long time – but still just ordinary.
After that, it’s a desert. From Saturday the 4th through to Tuesday the 14th of July, it’s all scraps – wave heights between 0.3ft and 2ft, periods from 2 to 7 seconds, and energy barely ticking above zero. Winds are often clean, sometimes glassy, but there’s no swell to ride.
The only other little pulse comes on Tuesday the 14th of July afternoon, with a 3ft west swell and a 6-second period. Energy hits 79. It’s still poor conditions, but it’s the second-best window in the whole outlook. Winds will be light cross from the south, so expect a little texture on the surface.
For the second week, it’s the same story – tiny surf, low energy, and clean but empty. If you’re a kite surfer, the steady breeze and lack of wave power might appeal, but for a paddle surfer, this setup is a non-starter.
The best you can hope for is that Friday the 3rd of July afternoon and maybe that Tuesday the 14th afternoon if you’re jonesing for a paddle on some small, weak waves. It’s a quiet period for Almanarre.

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.
Almanarre is 6 km (4 miles) from Hyeres. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hyeres. Hyeres has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
