The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s quiet. Real quiet. The first decent bit of surf we’ve got to talk about is this Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, at Almanarre. The water’s running at a balmy 77° – that’s 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be in for a pleasant dip. We’re looking at a clean 3ft swell, coming from the WNW, but it’s a short-period windswell of 5 seconds. The combined energy of all swells is weak at 79, so it’s not packing much punch. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE at 3 mph, which will keep things tidy. It’s surfable, but it’s a beginner’s wave at best – don’t expect any barrels.
After that, we hit a massive dry spell. From Friday the 4th right through to Wednesday the 16th of September, the surf is just poor. Nearly two full weeks of almost nothing. We’re talking flat spells, messy onshore winds, and some days with zero energy at all. It’s a tough stretch.
Then, finally, a glimmer of hope. On Thursday the 17th of September, we see a little pulse. The morning session at Almanarre offers a clean 2ft from the west, with a period of 4 seconds. Combined energy is weak at 27. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon looks even better with a 2ft swell from the SW and a gentle offshore wind from the east at 9 mph. That’s your best bet for a clean, small-wave session, but it’s still only for the longboard or a foamie.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is that Thursday morning (17th) and afternoon window. The wind is right, the waves are small and clean. It’s nothing to write home about, but after two weeks of nothing, you’ll take it. No crowds to worry about at Almanarre – it’s inconsistent, so it’s usually quiet.
Keep your expectations on the ground. It’s a flat spell, and we’re just waiting for a proper swell to show up.
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.
