The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are a tough watch for anyone looking to get wet at Almanarre. The outlook is pretty grim, with barely a whisper of a wave worth chasing.
The entire 16-day window is a long, blank stretch. There is no surf on offer for the first several days, and the rare pulses of energy that show up are tiny and poorly aligned. Sunday, August 30th, is a complete write-off with a weak 3ft W swell running on a short 4-second period and a cross-shore wind messing it up. The combined energy is a measly (49), and it just looks messy. The water temperature is 77°, which is a couple of degrees warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a bit of a bath.
We get a slight uptick on Saturday, September 5th. The afternoon actually shows a glassy surface with a 4ft W swell and a period of 7 seconds, giving a combined energy of (152). It’s surfable, but the conditions are ordinary. It’s the only day that even registers a score, but it’s not a standout by any stretch. The rest of the first week is a mix of onshore winds and flat spells.
The second week, from September 8th onward, is almost entirely flat. There’s a lot of clean offshore wind from the ENE and ESE, which is a tease. The wind is perfect, but there’s simply no swell to work with, with most records showing zero energy. Almanarre is a break that is inconsistent, and this blank run, while frustrating, is more normal for the area. It’s a waiting game, but forecasts can change.
Stay patient, keep your eye on the horizon, and don’t bother dragging your board down there for a while.
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.
