The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to feet and miles, but the story’s the same. Rusty here, and the outlook for Almanarre over the next 16 days is a tough sell. The water’s hanging in at 24°, a touch warmer than normal, but that’s the only good news.
Right now, Thursday the 27th and into Friday the 28th, it’s flat to tiny. Swell is 0.6 to 1 feet from the south and southwest, with short periods around 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak (3 to 13), and while the wind is offshore or light in the mornings, the waves are just too small. Friday afternoon gets a little bump to 1 feet from the WSW, but it’s cross-shore and choppy.
The weekend (Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th) sees a bit more size, up to 2 to 3 feet from the SW and W, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, especially Saturday afternoon with a fresh 35 km/h westerly. The combined energy reaches 33 and 44, but the surf quality is poor. It’s a windswell mess.
Monday the 31st through the first week of September is more of the same. Small, weak swell, mostly under 2 feet, with periods of 3 to 6 seconds. The combined energy stays low (1 to 22). We get a few clean moments with light offshore winds on Tuesday the 1st and Friday the 4th, but the swell is barely there. It’s frustrating.
Then we hit a dry spell. From around Monday the 7th through to Wednesday the 9th, the swell drops to zero or near zero on several days. The combined energy is nil. That’s a proper gap with no surf.
Late in the forecast, on Wednesday the 9th afternoon, there’s a slight flicker: 3 feet from the WNW with a 6-second period and combined energy of 51. The wind is light and cross-shore. Thursday the 10th morning is glassy with a light SE wind, but again, no swell. Friday the 11th brings another 3-foot pulse from the W, but the wind is onshore and fresh by afternoon.
There’s no standout here. The swell is too small, the periods are short, and the wind is rarely on your side. For a beginner spot like Almanarre, it’s pretty much a washout. If you’re desperate, the best chance for a clean, tiny wave might be on Friday the 4th morning with that light cross-offshore breeze, but bring a longboard and low expectations. This is a stretch where the Mediterranean is just not delivering.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
