The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down. The outlook for Almanarre is pretty flat for the next couple of weeks. Water temp is 77° right now, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least it’s a nice swim.
The first few days are a washout. Through Wednesday the 4th and into the weekend, the waves are tiny – 0.7ft to 2ft – with periods of just 3 to 5 seconds. The combined energy is tiny, reading 3 or 7 (weak energy). Winds are light, sometimes cross-off or clean, but there’s no swell to push anything.
We finally get a pulse on the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September. A 4ft swell from the west, period 6 seconds, and combined energy of 123 (moderate energy). The wind is offshore from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. This is the best window we’ve got – small, clean, and manageable. The afternoon turns cross-onshore, so get out early.
Wednesday the 9th brings a 5ft west swell, but the wind is howling at 19 mph from the WNW, making it lumpy and cross-on. By the afternoon, it’s a near-gale at 34 mph and blown out. Skip it.
After that, it’s flat or tiny right through to the 17th of September. There’s a minor bump on the morning of the 17th with 2ft from the WSW, but a period of only 3 seconds and energy at 9 – it’s nothing. Winds are light and clean, but you’ll be waiting for a wave.
The only real standout is Tuesday morning, 8th September. That’s your window. The rest of the 16 days is a long stretch of flat or poor conditions. For a spot that usually has something, this is a quiet spell. Keep an eye out, it won’t last.
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.
