The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Almanarre region over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I’m looking at the next 16 days and I have to be straight with you – it’s a pretty quiet run for Almanarre. There’s a lot of flat spells and small, weak swell on offer. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing too unusual here.
The first real chance of seeing anything rideable doesn't come up until the morning of Saturday, August 10th. That’s a long way off. We’re looking at a solid week of minimal to no surf before that. The morning of the 10th, we’ve got a 5ft swell from the west with a 6-second period. The combined energy is moderate, at 132. The wind is glassy, which is a major positive, and it’s described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." The swell direction is a bit off the optimum from the southwest, so it’s not going to be at its best. Still, it’s the only window that’s close to worthwhile.
The next morning, Monday, August 11th, is very similar. Another 5ft west swell, 6-second period, glassy conditions, and 131 combined energy. Again, it’s "surfable but very ordinary." The wind is perfect, but the swell is lacking in power and direction.
For the rest of the period, it's all small, poor quality surf. The morning of Friday, August 7th, sees a 5ft west swell with 270 combined energy and a strong cross-onshore wind, which will be a choppy, blown-out mess. That’s more of a kiteboarding day than a paddle surfing day. The following Sunday, August 9th, has a 4ft to 5ft west swell, but the wind is onshore or cross-shore, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions."
So, the standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of August 10th. It’s the only time the stars align for a glassy session, even if the swell is small and weak. The 11th morning is a carbon copy and a solid second option. For anything else, you’re looking at a lot of flat water and waiting. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait for a very average wave.
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.
