The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' for Almanarre over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a pretty bleak run overall. The water is a very warm 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight. The swell energy is tiny and weak, with the combined energy barely hitting double digits most days, so don't expect much to get excited about.
We start on Friday, September 4th, with nothing worth paddling out for. That sets the tone. It’s a long, quiet stretch. For the next several days, we see flat spells and tiny, weak swell. There's a bit of glassy water on Monday the 7th morning, and again on Tuesday the 8th morning, but with no swell to speak of, it's just a flat, pretty ocean.
The first sign of life doesn't appear until the morning of Friday, September 11th. The breaks at Almanarre will see a 5ft swell from the WNW with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 145, so there's a bit of push behind it, but the conditions are described as "very ordinary". It's not going to be a standout.
Saturday the 12th morning is the best on offer in this entire outlook, and even then it's a modest call. The wind goes glassy with a NNE breeze, and we get a 4ft WNW swell (combined energy 141). It’ll be clean, small, and a decent chance to get a few waves if you're desperate for a paddle. Just don't expect anything epic. After that morning, it gets messy again with onshore winds for the rest of the day.
From Sunday the 13th onwards, it's back to onshore winds and poor conditions. There's a period around Wednesday the 16th afternoon where the swell bumps up to 6ft from the West, with strong energy at 214, but it's accompanied by a strong 28 mph onshore wind. That's a messy, blown-out mess, likely more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers. The following days are dominated by strong onshore winds and no rideable surf.
So, to sum it up: there are no real standouts. You get one small, clean window on the morning of Saturday the 12th, but that's it. Lock it in if you can, but the rest of the 16-day window is a write-off.
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.
