The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the rundown on Almanarre for the next couple weeks in feet and miles per hour.
Overall Pattern & The Gap
We’re looking at a pretty brutal stretch, folks. There’s a massive gap of flat or junk ocean right at the start. From Monday the 14th afternoon through Wednesday the 16th, it’s nothing but tiny ankle-snappers – maybe a foot or less. Then from Wednesday midday until Thursday the 17th morning, it’s completely flat. This kind of dead run is just normal for this spot sometimes.
The Middle of the Week (Sept 17 – Sept 18)
A pulse arrives on Thursday the 17th morning. A 4ft swell from the west shows up with moderate energy, but it’s being ruined by a strong 12 mph onshore wind. The ocean will be a mess. That afternoon, the wind howls up to 22 mph from the west and the swell reads zero. Don't waste your time.
Friday the 18th morning has a 4ft west swell with moderate energy, but the cross-onshore wind is still a problem. The afternoon bumps up to 5ft from the west with strong energy, meaning plenty of water moving, but that strong onshore wind will make it choppy and difficult. This is a kite surfer’s day, not a paddle surfer’s.
The Lull and the Late Window
It flat-lines again hard. Saturday the 19th drops to 2ft and then smaller, with weak energy. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. From Sunday the 20th morning through Thursday the 25th morning, the energy is completely zero. That’s nearly a full week of nothing.
The Only Standout (and it’s a maybe)
Our only real hope is on Tuesday the 29th, which is a long way out so take this with a grain of salt. A small south swell around 1ft with a moderate 8-second period is on the cards. The energy is weak, but the wind sets up perfectly. Tuesday morning we have a light cross-offshore breeze, and Tuesday afternoon turns into a solid 12 mph offshore wind. That will polish that tiny swell into something clean and fun. The water is also running way warmer than usual for this time of year.
Bottom Line
Unless you want to fight a messy 5ft onshore wind swell on Friday the 18th, your only chance for a clean wave is the afternoon of Tuesday the 29th, but the size will be tiny. Everything else is flat or blown out. No real standouts here.
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.
