The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – I’ve looked at the charts for Almanarre over the next 16 days and, to be honest, it’s a bit of a tough watch. The water is sitting at a very unusual 83°, which is much warmer than average for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s firing.
We’re staring down a long, quiet spell right off the bat. From Thursday the 13th of August all the way through to late August, the wave energy is just not there. For days on end, the combined swell energy is reading at zero or single digits – that’s flat, mate. There’s a lot of clean, offshore wind on the menu, especially around the 20th and again from the 26th to the 28th, but without any real swell to push through, it’s just a flat, pretty lake. We do see a bit of movement on Monday the 17th afternoon, with the swell coming up to 5 ft from the west, but the wind is howling straight onshore at 22 mph, turning it into a complete washing machine. Not surfable for a paddle board.
There’s a little pulse of energy building towards the end of the run. On Friday the 28th of August, we finally see some life. The morning has a 4 ft west-northwest swell with a period of 6 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the east-northeast. The combined energy hits 79 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. It’s still not pumping, but it’s the first thing that looks surfable. The afternoon picks up a touch more size to 5 ft from the west-northwest, with a 5-second period and a combined energy of 113 (moderate). The wind swings light from the southeast, keeping it clean.
Even then, this isn’t a standout. The break is inconsistent, and the crowd factor is listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few mates out, but you won’t be fighting for waves. Given the long run of nothing, this late window is the only real option, but keep your expectations in check. It’s not a classic; it’s just something to wet the line.
Stay patient. The sea will wake up eventually.
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.
