The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour, because that’s how some of us still measure the world. The outlook for Almanarre is a tough one. For the first nine days, from the start of the period through to the morning of Monday, August 10th, there’s pretty much nothing. The combined swell energy is in the single digits (like 3, 2, 6, 1) – that’s the energy of a puddle. The water is warm, 80°F, which is about 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual, but you’ll be swimming, not surfing.
The first real chance comes on Monday afternoon, August 10th. The swell bumps up to 5 feet out of the west, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 144 – moderate. The wind is cross-offshore from the east-southeast at 12 mph, so the surf will be clean. It’s a moderate-sized swell, fine for most, but the short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly and won’t have that long, lined-up feel. It’s a beach break, so expect some close-outs, but you can get a few rides.
After that, it’s flat again. Tuesday, August 11th, is dead flat, with onshore winds. Wednesday, August 12th, has a tiny 1ft west swell, but the wind is howling onshore at 25 mph in the afternoon. By Thursday and Friday, August 13th and 14th, the wind is screaming from the northwest at 34 mph, near gale force, and the surf is a total mess. Not worth a look.
So, the only real window in the whole 16 days is the afternoon of Monday, August 10th. It’s not a perfect day, but it’s the only rideable surf in the whole forecast. The rest is a long, flat spell with heavy wind. If you’re into kite surfing, the strong winds might be your thing, but for a standard surfboard, it’s slim pickings.

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.
Almanarre is 6 km (4 miles) from Hyeres. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hyeres. Hyeres has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
