The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Almanarre for the next couple of weeks. I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. The first surfable wave doesn’t even show up until Thursday morning, the 17th of September, and even then it’s nothing to get excited about. Before that, we’re looking at a solid 11-day gap of flat, glassy mornings and light breezes, but no swell to speak of. It’s pretty quiet out there.
The only real window we’ve got is around Thursday the 17th. On the Thursday morning, the wind is light and cross-off from the NNE, which is a decent angle for Almanarre. The swell comes in at 4ft from the W with a period of 7 seconds, giving a combined energy of 134 (moderate). The water is a warm 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—over 3° above average, pretty unusual. The waves are surfable, but the conditions are very ordinary. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell direction (W) isn’t a perfect match for the optimum SW direction, and the period is short, so don’t expect any real power or shape. By the afternoon, the wind swings to the S and goes cross, the swell drops to 3ft, and the energy backs off to 91. It’s a small window, and it’s not one for the memory books.
If you’re a beginner, the 4ft is fine, but the short period and lack of consistency mean you’ll be scratching for a ride. The break is exposed to the swell, so it can pick up anything, but it’s also inconsistent, so don’t rely on it. Crowds are possible on a Thursday, but it’s not a big deal.
After that, Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th are flat again, with only tiny scraps showing. By Sunday the 20th, we’re back to nothing. The whole second week fades into zeros.
Overall, it’s a lean few weeks. I’d keep an eye on the Thursday morning session, but don’t get your hopes up. The combined energy is only moderate, and the quality is just ordinary. That’s the best I’ve got.
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.
