Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Almanarre stretch. Gotta be straight up with you, this isn’t looking like a classic 16-day window. There’s a real stretch of nothing happening for most of it.
First thing you’ll notice is the water is absolutely roasting at 78°, which is a massive 8° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so if you’re going for a dip, you won’t need a thick suit, but honestly, you’re not going to be doing much paddling for waves.
We start off with the best chance of the whole run right on Friday the 3rd of July. It’s not epic, but it’s something. Friday morning we’ve got a small 3ft swell coming from the W with a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-shore from the NNW at 6 mph. Combined energy is weak (82). It’s marginal. Friday afternoon picks up just a touch to 3ft from the W, still 7 seconds, but the wind swings SE to a cross-off and cleans it up. The energy is moderate (106). For Almanarre, that’s as good as it gets in this forecast. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
From Saturday the 4th of July, it all goes downhill fast. Saturday morning sees the swell drop to 2ft with a period of only 5 seconds and combined energy down to a weak 13. The wind is cross-off from the NE at 9 mph, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power. This flat spell sets in hard.
We’re looking at a solid gap. From Saturday the 4th all the way through to at least Friday the 18th of July, every single session is either flat or has tiny, weak leftovers. You get waves under 2ft with periods in the 3-5 second range, and combined energy figures that are mostly single digits. There’s glassy conditions on Tuesday the 7th morning and Wednesday the 15th morning, but with swell energy of 1 and 0 respectively, you’d be sitting on a lake. The wind turns offshore a few times, like Sunday the 5th afternoon with an ESE breeze, but again, the swell is just 1.0ft. It’s a kite surfer’s dream with clean offshore wind and no waves, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a write-off.
So, if you’re hanging out for a wave, your only real window is that Friday the 3rd of July afternoon. That’s the standout, and even then, it’s a low-energy, short-period swell that won’t get the heart racing. For the rest of the 16 days? Honestly, you’ve got nearly two weeks of flatness. That’s just how it goes sometimes here; Almanarre can have these blank runs. Keep an eye on the charts, because things can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
Almanarre is 6 km (4 miles) from Hyeres. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hyeres. Hyeres has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
