The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s lined up for Almanarre.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch is a bit of a flat spell for the Hyères region. We're looking at a long, dry run with hardly any proper swell to speak of. The first few days are basically a write-off, and there’s a big gap of very small to no surf that stretches right through most of the period. Don't get your hopes up for any real action.
The only tiny glimmer comes around Thursday the 17th of September. We see a small bump of windswell from the west pushing up to about 3ft, with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is still pretty weak (76). But the real killer here is the wind – it's howling from the WNW at 16 mph, straight cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. It’s poor surf conditions, no way around it. That little wave bump is there, but the quality is just not there.
Beyond that, the rest of the outlook is bleak. There’s a few specs of swell between 0.3ft and 2ft, but it’s all short-period junk, and the wind keeps swinging around. Even when we get a bit of a clean offshore breeze, there's just no swell to push it. The water temp is sitting about average for mid-September, so the warmth isn’t really an excuse to get in.
Forget about any standouts here. There's no day that's worth chasing. If you’re desperate for a paddle on a longboard on a flat day, maybe, but there’s no surf to surf. This is one of those times where the area goes quiet, and we have to wait for the next system to roll through. Forecasts can change, but right now, this window is a dud.

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.
