The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Almanarre.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a tough one for this spot. The whole outlook is a long stretch of tiny, weak swells with poor surf quality. We’re looking at a big gap of nothing worth paddling for, with the first real chance of a wave not showing up until Sunday the 26th, and even then it’s gonna be a struggle.
The story starts with a few days of barely any energy. Friday the 24th has a tiny 1 ft swell from the west with a short period of 4 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 7 – that’s just a ripple. The wind is light and cross-off in the morning, which would keep it clean, but there’s simply no power to work with. That trend continues into Saturday with no swell at all.
Sunday the 26th is when we finally see a pulse of swell. The morning brings 3 ft from the west with a 6-second period, and the energy climbs to 56 (moderate). The problem is the wind shifts onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, so it’s going to be a messy surface. By the afternoon, the swell jumps up to 6 ft from the west, period at 7 seconds, and the energy hits 295 (moderate), which is the biggest swell of the outlook. But the wind is howling onshore at 22 mph, creating poor conditions. It’s a no-go.
Monday the 27th is the best we’ve got. The morning has a 5 ft swell from the west, period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is 211 (moderate). The wind is light from the NNW at 6 mph, which is a cross-shore breeze. It’s not perfect, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see with that size. The water is cooked at 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 7° anomaly. That’s very unusual. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 4 ft, but the wind goes light and cross-on, so it’s not as good.
After that, it’s a long, depressing slide back into tiny, weak swells with periods of 3-5 seconds, and winds mostly onshore or cross-on. There’s a moment of glassy conditions on the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, with a tiny 1 ft swell, but it’s so small it’s barely a ripple. The combined energy is just 5. The rest of the first week of August is a repeat of small, weak, and often windy surf.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is Monday the 27th. The 5 ft swell is the biggest we’ll see, and with the light cross-shore wind, it’s the only time the conditions are even close to surfable. Almanarre is an exposed beach break, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets. Expect crowds to be possible here. The swell direction is from the west, which is not the optimum southwest direction, so it won’t be at its best. But if you’re desperate, that’s your window.
Otherwise, it’s a long dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, this stretch of coast is looking more interesting for a kite than a paddle on most days.

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.
