The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window at Almarre is a dud. I’m not seeing a single session worth getting wet for. Swell’s tiny, wind’s messy, and the whole place looks like a washing machine. Don’t get your hopes up.
From Wednesday the 19th through the end of the month, it’s flat and crumbly. Wave heights mostly sit between 2ft and 4ft, coming from the west or southwest, with short periods of 4 to 6 seconds. The energy’s weak—mostly under 100, like 92 on the 19th morning, 120 on Friday afternoon, and 130 on Tuesday the 25th afternoon. That’s soft, weak surf, and the wind’s all over the place. Wednesday the 19th has a light WNW breeze at 10 km/h, but it’s onshore, so it’s lumpy. Afternoon’s worse—WSW at 30 km/h, cross-on, chop. Thursday’s cleaner with a light SE cross-off in the morning, but the swell’s only 2ft, so forget it. Friday brings storms and onshore SW winds—miserable.
The weekend’s just as bad. Saturday the 22nd has light cross-onshore winds and a weak 3ft swell—just wind ripples. Sunday the 23rd turns offshore and clean, but the swell drops to 0.3ft—flat, nothing to ride. Monday’s similar—clean but lifeless. Even the slightly better moments, like Tuesday the 25th afternoon’s 4ft W swell with 130 energy, get wrecked by a cross-on breeze and lumpy sea. It’s just not happening.
The first real push comes on Wednesday the 2nd of September—morning swell of 6ft from the west, 6-second period, energy at 229. Finally some size, but the wind’s WNW at 25 km/h, cross-on, messy. Afternoon’s blown out—W at 35 km/h, no data. Then Thursday the 3rd looks bigger—6ft from WNW, 6 seconds, energy at 266—but again, west winds at 30 km/h onshore, so it’s choppy and sloppy. For a beginner break like Almarre, anything over 5ft is already too much, and these aren’t clean waves, they’re just mush.
Water temp on the 19th is 82°, a whopping 8° warmer than normal—that’s seriously warm, so you could go in trunks. But you won’t want to with surf like this.
Honestly, with all this swell but such poor quality, strong winds, and a beach/reef setup, this looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s no standout, no hidden gem—just a long stretch of nothing with a few choppy bumps. If you’re keen, maybe peek at the 2nd and 3rd of September, but don’t count on it. The ocean’s not giving us anything here.

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.
