The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what we've got cookin' for Almanarre over the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you – it's a bit of a dry spell for the most part, but there's a glimmer towards the end.
We're starting with a pretty frustrating run. From now through the rest of August and into the first few days of September, it's mostly small, weak, and messy. The waves are tiny, the wind is often onshore or cross-off, and the swell doesn't have any real push behind it. The combined swell energy is mostly in the low two-digit range (24, 42, even down to 1 and 2), which tells you there's hardly any power. You'd be fighting for a dribble. The water temp is sitting at about 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the water is comfortable.
There's a gap of several days where I wouldn't even bother paddling out. There's just nothing on offer. The forecast has a few spots with zero energy or the wind is howling from the wrong direction. The setup is a beach-and-reef, so when there is a bit of size and poor wind, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
The first real chance you get is the morning of Sunday, the 30th of August. We've got a weak 4ft swell coming from the west with a short period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of 122. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNE at 3 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The comment calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – that's about right. It's not going to be a classic, but if you're desperate for a paddle it's the best we've seen.
Then, after another dry stretch, we get into the second week. On Monday morning, the 7th of September, things get interesting. The swell is 4ft from the WNW with a 6-second period and a combined energy of 133. The real standout is the wind: it's glassy. Absolutely dead calm from the NNW at just 3 mph. That's a major positive. It's going to be clean as a whistle, especially in the morning. It's small, but the conditions will make it feel much better. The break is pretty exposed, so the WNW swell will wrap in decently. The water temp is still that same touch warmer than normal.
So, what's the call? If you can wait, Monday the 7th of September morning is the pick of the whole run. It’s the only time you get that combination of a clean, glassy surface with a bit of background swell. It's small, but for this area in this forecast window, that's the standout. The Tuesday morning the 8th of September also looks like it could be glassy again, but the swell is smaller at 3ft.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
