The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight, folks. Rusty here. Almanarre is the only game in this region, and to be honest, for the next 16 days, the surf is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special, so don’t get your hopes up.
The water is sitting at a balmy 79°, and that’s a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s like stepping into a warm bath, but that’s about the only highlight.
The pattern starts off with a whole lot of nada. From Sunday 23rd August all the way through to the end of the month, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, with values like 2, 19, 21, and even down to 0. It’s poor surf conditions across the board. The wind is mostly cross-off or offshore, which would be nice if there was any swell to work with. A 0.7ft to 3ft W or SW swell with a period of just 3 to 6 seconds is not going to get you out of bed.
The first week of September doesn’t offer much relief. Monday 1st September has a 3ft W swell, but the wind is a cross-on or onshore, so it’s going to be messy. The energy is still weak, sitting at 50. Then we get a few days of flat calm, with glassy conditions on Saturday 5th September, but no waves to ride.
The one bright spot, and I mean the *only* one, is a little glimmer on Monday 7th September afternoon. The swell picks up to 3ft from the S with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy hits 74, which is at least moving in the right direction. The wind is light and cross-off from the SSE, meaning it should be clean. For a beginner spot like Almanarre, this is about as good as it gets in this window. But don't expect much. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
So, the best on offer is that Monday 7th September afternoon session. It’s not a standout, it’s a “we’ll take what we can get” kind of deal. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re better off finding a different hobby or just enjoying the warm water. The gap between any solid surf is huge.
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.
