The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Almanarre. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run for the next week and a half. The first recommendation for any kind of surf doesn’t pop up until the morning of Tuesday, 12th August.
Before that, it’s a long stretch of flat, tiny, or just plain messy conditions. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to Monday the 11th of August, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell is either non-existent (combined energy of 0) or it’s tiny, weak stuff under 2ft with periods so short the waves just crumble. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up what little bump there is. It’s honestly not worth paddling out for.
The one glimmer of hope, and it’s a real teaser, is Tuesday, 12th August. The morning starts with a clean 7ft west swell rolling in with a solid 9-second period. That’s decent energy, and the combined energy reading of 607 tells you there’s a proper push in the water. The wind is a light, clean cross-offshore from the NE, which is exactly what you want to keep that swell walled up and tidy. The afternoon holds the same 7ft size, with the wind shifting to a light SE cross-offshore breeze. It’s a proper window of good surf.
Now, a word of caution – that’s a solid 7ft wave. This isn’t a day for beginners. It’s got enough punch to be a handful for the intermediates, and the better surfers are going to be the ones getting the good ones. The period is in that sweet spot, so the waves should have some shape and power, but the sets will be a bit more spaced out. It’s a true standout, but it’s a one-day wonder in an otherwise bleak forecast.
The water temp is a very unusual 80°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. You’ll be comfortable in a shorty or even just boardshorts.
After that little spike, the surf drops back down to nothing on the 13th, with onshore winds ruining the leftovers. So, mark your calendar for the 12th of August. That’s your shot.
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.
