The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Almanarre. Looking at the whole 16-day run, it’s a bit of a tough watch. The forecast shows a real dry spell for most of it, with a few small windows of potential that are just too weak to get excited about. There’s nothing here that’s going to get the heart racing, so strap in for a long wait.
The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until the morning of Sunday, July 27th. We’re looking at a weak 4ft swell from the west, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is only registering 159 (weak energy), so it’s not got much punch. The wind is a light cross-shore from the NNW, which is about as good as it gets for this setup, but the surf quality is still described as poor. It’s small, a bit weak, and the short period means it’ll be a bit fat and slow. Afternoon sees the wind swing to a light cross-onshore, so the morning is the cleaner play. It’s not a standout, just the least bad option.
The only other time the swell pushes above 5ft is on the afternoon of Sunday, July 26th, with a 5ft west swell. But that’s a total no-go. The wind is howling onshore from the WSW at 19 mph, turning it into a complete mess. The combined energy jumps to 240 (moderate energy), but with that wind, it’s just a washing machine. Not worth a look for a paddle; maybe a kite surfer would have a play.
The rest of the forecast is pretty grim. From Monday, July 28th right through to the end of the outlook on Saturday, August 8th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and often non-existent. There are a few mornings with glassy, calm winds, like Wednesday, July 29th morning (0.3ft, glassy) and Sunday, August 2nd morning (1ft, glassy), but the swell is so small you’d be lucky to get a knee-high ripple. These are just flat, clean days for a swim, not a surf.
Honestly, the only real mention of any surf is that 4ft on the 27th, and it’s not great. For a spot that’s exposed to a SW swell, the direction is right, but the size and period are just too weak. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there. It’s a quiet, frustrating period for Almanarre. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” busy, but with this forecast, you’ll probably have the place to yourself.
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.
