Table - best surf conditions forecast for Almanarre over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Almanarre are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a solid 16-day window but the first week is a write-off for any decent waves. There’s a big gap with no real surf on offer.
From Saturday the 11th right through to the middle of the following week, we’re looking at flat spells or tiny, low-energy slop. The odd bit of swell shows up, like a 1ft S windswell on Wednesday the 15th, but it’s got a short period of 5 seconds and combined energy of only 4 – that’s weak stuff. Winds are mostly cross-offshore or offshore, which is clean, but without any swell to work with, it’s just a flat, glassy lake. The water temperature is sitting at 78°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a pretty big anomaly.
We don’t see any proper energy until Saturday the 18th, when a 4ft W swell with a 7-second period rolls in, combined energy of 145 (moderate). But the wind is cranking cross-onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. The surf quality is still poor. Later that afternoon the swell jumps to 6ft, but onshore winds hit 25 mph – that’s a kite-surfing setup, not paddle surf.
The only real standout in the whole run is a brief window on Tuesday the 21st. The morning sees a 5ft W swell, 6-second period, combined energy of 124 (moderate), with a gentle cross-onshore breeze from NNW at 9 mph. It’s still a bit choppy, but it’s the best we’ll see. By the afternoon, the swell builds to 6ft from the W, period 7 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 429 (strong wave energy), but the wind swings NW and picks up to 16 mph, making it choppy again. Still, if you’re desperate, that Tuesday morning is your best bet for a few lumpy rides.
After that, it’s back to flat or tiny, windy junk all the way through to Sunday the 26th. The last afternoon sees a 2ft SW swell, period 3 seconds, with glassy conditions – but it’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, mate, this stretch is a blank run. For a spot that’s usually exposed to SW swell, it’s just not happening. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d give it a miss.

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.
