The Lowdown
Righto, grab a coffee and settle in. Rusty here, and I've got to be straight with you – it's a tough watch for the next couple of weeks at Almanarre. The forecast is pretty much a big, flat, blown-out mess for the foreseeable future.
We're kicking off on Saturday the 25th of July with absolutely zero swell. The combined wave energy is a flat 0, so the boards can stay in the shed. There's a bit of offshore wind, but with nothing to push around, it's pointless. That water temp is sitting at a very unusual 80°, which is a solid 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – it feels like a bath out there, but you'd be floating, not surfing.
We then roll through the rest of July and into the start of August with nothing but small, weak, and messy conditions. Sunday the 26th shows a little pulse of 5ft from the west, but with a short period of 7 seconds and strong onshore winds, it's going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. That moderate energy (171) is just not worth paddling out for. The whole first week is just a write-off.
We hit a real dry spell from the 29th of July right through to the 7th of August. There's a few mornings with glassy conditions on the 2nd and 5th of August, but the swell is barely a ripple – combined energy is in the low single digits. It's a long stretch of flat calm, and a few of those days even show 0 wave energy. It's a ghost town.
Finally, around the 7th and 8th of August, there's a bit of a kick in the swell. Friday afternoon the 7th shows 6ft from the west with a 7-second period and a strong energy reading of 318. But that's combined with a 25 mph onshore wind. That's not surf, that's a washing machine – strictly for the experts or the kite surfers looking for some air. The following morning has a 3ft west swell with lighter wind, so it might be the least bad option, but it's still messy.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent waves. There are no standouts, no hidden gems. Sometimes this stretch of coast just goes to sleep, and this is one of those times. Keep the wax in the wrapper and wait for the next system.

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.
