The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the local outlook for Almanarre. I’ll be honest—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is flat, with no real surf to get excited about. The first sign of any wave energy doesn’t show up until Thursday, July 30th, and even then, it’s patchy. There’s a long stretch of nothing before that, so don’t get your hopes up.
The water temp at Almanarre is a warm 81°, which is about 9° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, and you’ll notice it when you’re sitting in the water waiting for the odd bump.
The only day that’s even worth mentioning is the afternoon of July 30th. The swell is coming from the west at a tiny 3ft, with a period of 6 seconds—short-period windswell, not much juice behind it. The combined energy is still weak at 87 (87), so don’t expect any power. The wind is light and cross-off from the SSE, which will keep it clean. The conditions are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary,” and honestly, that’s the best we’ve got. The break is inconsistent, and when it does break, it’s a beginner-level wave, so if you’re just starting out, this might be your best bet. Expect crowds to be around sometimes.
Outside of that, the rest of the month is a bust. The wind is often onshore or cross-on, and the swell heights rarely break 2ft. The setup at Almanarre is a beach-and-reef situation, and with the poor quality and onshore winds, this is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Don’t plan a trip around this.
After July 30th, we’ve got a few cleaner mornings with glassy conditions on July 31st and August 2nd, but the swell is non-existent on those days. It’s a flat spell, and it’s going to stay that way.
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.
