The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real. The next 16 days at Almanarre are looking pretty flat and ugly. This spot is already inconsistent and best for beginners, and the swell gods are just not playing ball. Most of the time the waves are tiny, the wind is onshore, and the energy readings are pathetic. Don’t expect anything worth a drive.
From Saturday 18 July through the end of the month, it’s mostly flat or ankle‑high slop. Swell heights rarely hit 2 feet, periods are under 5 seconds, and the wind is either howling onshore or cross. The combined energy numbers are mostly in the single digits or low teens – barely a ripple. That Tuesday 21 July afternoon shows a bump to 4 feet from the west, but with a 25 mph onshore wind, it’s just a churned‑up mess – better for a kite than a surfboard. The energy hits 53 (moderate? barely), but the comment says “poor surf conditions” – and I’m with that.
The only two windows that even get a “surfable” rating are Wednesday 29 July morning and Sunday 2 August morning. On 29 July morning, you’ve got 3 feet from the west, 5‑second period, with a light NNE offshore breeze at 6 mph. The combined energy is 117 (moderate), and the wind keeps it clean. But these waves are ordinary – small, weak, short period. It’s a beginner’s wave, nothing more. Then on 2 August morning, same deal: 3 feet from the west‑northwest, 6‑second period, ENE offshore at 6 mph, energy 79 (weak). Again, clean but nothing to write home about. Neither of these is a standout – they’re just the only scraps on offer.
Crowds can show up sometimes at Almanarre, but with surf this poor, you’ll probably have the place to yourself. If you’re really itching, the 29th morning is your best shot, but don’t expect any magic. The rest of the forecast is a long stretch of flat or blown‑out junk. A tough go for this spot.

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.
