The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down.
We’ve got a bit of a dull stretch to kick things off, I'm not gonna lie. The next week and a bit is looking flat to tiny, and when there is something, the wind is just ruining it. For the next 12 days, the only spot that’s on the cards is Almanarre, and honestly, it’s a tough watch through that period.
The first 12 days: a whole lot of nothing
From Sunday the 26th of July right through to Friday the 7th of August, Almanarre is just not on. The swell stays under 2 ft for most of that time, with almost zero energy – we’re talking combined swell energies as low as 1 to 16 (that is weak). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the few bits of offshore or glassy weather (like the Tuesday morning of the 28th of July, or the morning of the 1st of August) are met with absolute knee-high dribble.
There is a tiny blip on the Saturday morning of the 8th of August – a 3 ft west swell with a 6-second period. The combined energy is still low at 93, but it's something. The wind is light easterly, so it’s cross-offshore and clean. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. The crowd factor is “sometimes” here, so you might find a few others out.
The one standout
The only real highlight in this entire 16-day window is the Saturday afternoon of the 8th of August. The swell builds to 5 ft out of the west, with a 7-second period – not a groundswell, but not terrible. The real winner here is the wind: an easterly breeze at 12 mph, putting it solidly offshore. That’s going to groom the waves nicely and keep them clean. The combined energy jumps to 359 (moderate), so there’s some proper push in the water.
Almanarre is an exposed beach break, and a west swell with offshore east winds is a good look for it. The water temp is what you’d expect for the time of year – about average. This is the session you want to aim for, but keep in mind it’s the only decent bet in a very long, quiet spell. After that, the 9th of August is back to small and onshore.
So, to sum it up: a long, flat run, then one chance to get a good one in on the 8th of August. For any beginners, that 5 ft will be a proper step up, but for the rest of us, it’s the only game in town.
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.
