The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be honest, the next couple of weeks are going to be a proper test of patience. Looking at Almanarre, the surf is looking bleak, with a lot of small, weak swell and a constant battle with the wind.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a big gap with nothing. The first surf that’s even worth thinking about isn’t until the morning of August 19th. That’s a long dry spell. When that Wednesday morning comes, we’ll see a tiny 4ft west swell, but it’s the only time we get a glassy ocean. The energy is weak (115), but the clean conditions will be the only saving grace. The swell is short-period, so it’ll be lumpy, but maybe a beginner can get a few soft ones. Water temps are a balmy 83°, which is way warmer than average.
From there, it’s back to the grind. The next week is all poor surf, with winds swinging onshore and wave heights under 3 feet. The energy is mostly in the low double digits. There are a couple of days with clean, offshore winds around the 23rd through the 25th, but the swell is essentially gone. It’s just tiny leftovers.
The second week is more of the same – weak, small, and windy. For a spot this exposed, it’s a total bust. There’s nothing that looks good for anyone. The 19th is the only show in town, and it’s a poor one. For the rest of us, it’s a long, flat, and frustrating wait. The wind is all over the place, so even the kooks on kites will have a hard time. We need a solid storm to build some real swell, but there’s nothing on the horizon.

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.
