The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks at Almanarre. Honestly, I’m looking at this forecast and it’s a tough one. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but for the first week and a half, it’s looking like a flat spell. There’s a pretty big gap from now until the 3rd of September with no real surf to talk about. The energy just isn’t there – the combined swell energy is barely registering, with values like 3 and 4 – that’s weak, barely a ripple.
From the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September, we finally see a pulse. The swell picks up to 3ft from the west-northwest, with a period of 4 seconds. That’s short-period, windswell stuff, and the combined energy is still only 37 – weak. The wind is light and cross-shore, which is clean, but the waves are going to be small and a bit fat. The afternoon looks similar, with the swell shifting to 3ft from the west and a period of 6 seconds, energy at 61. Still poor surf conditions, though.
The best of a bad bunch looks like Thursday the 3rd of September. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only window with any size and clean-ish wind. For a beginner spot like Almanarre, which is inconsistent, this is about as good as it gets right now. The swell is tiny and the period is short, so don’t expect much push. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
After that, it drops right back off. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September are flat again with zero energy. A little pulse returns on the 8th and 9th of September, with 2ft swell from the southwest, but the period is still short (5-6 seconds) and the energy is weak (24-35). The winds are offshore to cross-offshore, which is clean, but the waves are just too small and gutless to get excited about.
Bottom line: if you absolutely have to paddle out, keep your expectations on the floor. The 3rd of September is your best shot, but it’s really more of a tiny wave session. This looks like a better setup for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest.

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.

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.
