Table - best surf conditions forecast for Almanarre over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – if you’re looking for a proper surf this fortnight, this isn’t the spot. We’ve got a whole 16-day window and not a single day that’s worth paddling out for. The first few days are a total blank, and the pattern just doesn’t improve.
The water at Almanarre is sitting at a very unusual 79°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a rare thing, but it’s not going to help the waves.
The first real flicker of swell comes on Tuesday 14 July, but with a tiny 2 ft from the south at a short 6 seconds, it’s just not enough to get excited about. The combined energy is a weak 18, and the wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but the swell is too small and weak to bother with. The rest of the week is more of the same: little 1.0 ft to 1 ft swells, mostly from the SW or W, with periods under 6 seconds. You’ll see some glassy mornings – Wednesday 15 July and Friday 17 July mornings are dead flat but glassy, and Saturday 18 July picks up a bit to 3 ft from the west, but that’s with a 35 km/h onshore wind, so it’s blown out and messy. The combined energy jumps to 60, but it’s not surfable.
The second week is a real drag. From Monday 20 July right through to Tuesday 28 July, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing. The odd 0.7 ft to 1 ft bump shows up, but the energy is rarely above 23, and the winds are often cross-off or light, making it clean but tiny. There’s a brief moment on Saturday 25 July morning with 2 ft from the WSW and a 5-second period, but the combined energy is only 23, and it’s just not enough to ride. The rest is flat or close to it.
Honestly, for a spot that’s exposed to the SW, we’re just not getting any proper push. The whole 16 days are a bust. With such tiny, weak swell and a lot of onshore or cross-shore wind, if you’re desperate for a session, you might be better off looking at a kite. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep your gear in the shed.
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.
