The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Almanarre are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, or messy conditions, so don’t expect much. We’ll start with a 7-day gap of no surf worth mentioning, then just a few flickers of hope later on.
The first break that shows any pulse at all is Almanarre. The water is sitting at 77°F, which is quite a bit warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 5°F above average, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or even boardies.
The first real standout doesn’t show up until Monday the 14th of September. The morning is nothing special, but by Monday afternoon, a 7ft swell from the west with a period of 7 seconds rolls in, pushing combined energy up to 363 (moderate to strong). The wind is offshore from the east at 22 mph, keeping things clean. That’s the pick of the whole period. Just be aware, that swell is over 8ft, so it’s expert territory only. It’s a strong offshore breeze, so paddling will be tough, but the wave faces will be peeling nicely.
The day before, on Sunday the 14th of September morning, there’s a 4ft west swell with 5-second period, offshore wind from the east-northeast at 19 mph, and energy at 80 (weak). It’s clean but small and short-period – better for a longboard or a funboard if you’re desperate.
For the rest of the window, it’s all dribble. The wind goes whacky, swell is tiny, and the sea state is poor. The afternoon of the 12th of September has a strong offshore wind at 25 mph, but the swell is only 1.0ft, so you’ll be fighting the wind more than riding waves. The 11th of September afternoon has a clean offshore breeze at 16 mph, but again, only 3ft of short-period west swell – not worth the drive.
Overall, if you’re a kitesurfer, some of those fresh to strong offshore days might be interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a bust until that Monday the 14th. Even then, it’s a short window and experts only. Stick to the long-range hope, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
