The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Almanarre.
Straight up, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Almanarre. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny waves and poor conditions, so don’t be in a hurry. The first surf worth even considering isn’t until the morning of Monday the 12th of August, but even then, it’s just 0.7ft of weak, short-period slop with hardly any energy behind it (combined energy of all swells directed here is just 1). Really not worth paddling out for. That kind of theme carries on for days—tiny 0.7ft to 1ft waves, mostly clean or glassy but just no push. The water at Almanarre is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 82°F, but you won’t be moving much on that board anyway.
The real standout, and honestly the only time you might get something half-way decent, is Tuesday the 18th of August. Tuesday morning brings the best swell of the whole outlook: a 4ft swell from the west at 7 seconds period, with moderate wave energy (145). The wind is cross-offshore from the northeast, so it should be clean. This is a beginner-friendly spot, and at 4ft it’s fine for most paddlers, though not going to blow anyone away. For the afternoon, the swell drops to 3ft but the wind goes offshore from the east-southeast, and it stays clean. That Tuesday morning window is easily the pick of the bunch.
Everything after that fades back to tiny surf, with the odd 2ft to 4ft day, but the wind messes things up or the swell angle is just wrong. Wednesday the 21st of August morning shows 4ft but it’s cross-shore wind, so it’ll be chopped up. Not worth getting excited about.
Honestly, this is a lean run. Almanarre is inconsistent, and this stretch proves it. For the whole 16 days, you really only have one morning—Tuesday the 18th—that’s worth your time. If that’s your day, go for it. Otherwise, you’re better off waiting for the next push. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye on it.
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.
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.
