The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like the Méditerranée has gone to sleep on us, and Almanarre is a flat, glassy lake for the next two weeks. There’s genuinely nothing worth paddling out for through almost the entire 16-day window. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—feels like bath water. That’s about the only excitement.
The first recommendation comes on Sunday afternoon, 9 August. Even then it’s a marginal call. You’ve got a 5ft swell from the west with a short, weak 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate (211), but the wind is a gentle cross-shore, so there’s slight cross-chop. It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but ordinary.
Then there’s another gap. The next glimmer is Saturday afternoon, 15 August. Swell drops to 3ft from the west, period still a sluggish 6 seconds. Combined energy is weak at 60. Wind light and cross-offshore though, so it’ll be clean. Again, very ordinary.
The best of a bad bunch comes on Sunday morning, 16 August. A little bump to 5ft from the west-northwest, 6-second period. Combined energy climbs to moderate (184). Glassy conditions with no wind. It’s the biggest wave of the outlook, but still short-period and sloppy. At 5ft it’s fine for intermediates, but don’t expect any punch. That’s it.
Fourteen days of nothing, then two days of barely-rideable slop. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the 16 August morning glass-off is your only real shot, but keep expectations on the floor. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this dead for long around here, but as it stands, it’s a blank run.
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.
