The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this sorted. The sixteen-day window looks pretty grim for Almanarre. The first surf I can actually talk about happens on Tuesday, September 1st. Before that, there’s a long, dry stretch of over a week where the conditions are just too poor to recommend. It’s a real blank run, and for this area, that’s not totally unusual, but it’s still a frustrating wait.
First up, Tuesday September 1st. We’ve got a small pulse of swell finally arriving in the morning. Swell is 5ft coming out of the WNW, with a period of 5 seconds. That’s a short period windswell, so don’t expect any real power behind it – the combined wave energy is only moderate at 110. The good news is the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE at 5 mph, making for clean conditions. It’s surfable, but pretty ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there. Almanarre is an exposed spot, so it needs just the right angle. This WNW swell is a bit off the optimum SW direction, so the shape won’t be perfect. It’s a beginner-friendly wave at 5ft, but with that short period, it’ll be a bit mushy.
Wednesday September 2nd is a carbon copy of Tuesday morning. Same swell height at 5ft from the WNW, period still 5 seconds, and wave energy is about the same at 104. The morning looks clean again with a light NNE breeze at 5 mph. The afternoon goes a bit cross-onshore with a light SW wind, which will roughen it up.
Thursday September 3rd the swell drops right out. The morning is flat with a light cross-on wind, and the afternoon gets messy with a fresh onshore breeze. Not worth paddling for.
If I had to pick the best of a bad lot, it’s Tuesday September 1st morning and Wednesday September 2nd morning. Both are clean, small, and surfable, but they’re not standouts – just the only options. Keep an eye on it, but don’t get your hopes up.
Stay safe out there.

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.
