The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Almanarre.
This is a tough one to call. We’re looking at a long stretch of very small, weak surf. For the next week, we’re stuck with tiny, messy swell. The wave energy is barely moving the needle, with the combined energy of all swells directed here hitting single digit values like 9 (9) on Tuesday the 28th and staying negligible for days on end. The water temperature is 80°, a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels like bathwater, but that’s about the only positive. We’ve got a solid 12-day gap here from the start with no worthwhile surf.
The first faint glimmer of hope shows up on Wednesday afternoon, August 12th. The swell is building to 5ft from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy finally climbs to 213 (213), suggesting moderate wave energy. That’s a start. The wind is light from the SSW, coming onshore, creating small ripples so it won't be glassy, but it’s the biggest bump we’ve had.
To be brutally honest, that 5ft is about the only highlight in the entire 16-day window, and it’s nothing special. It's not clean, it's a short-period wind swell, and it's barely on the radar. For a guy that calls "Almanarre" home, this stretch is a real bummer. The setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with these conditions. We just have to wait and hope the forecasts change, because this blank run is a tough one to stomach.
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.
