The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the 16-day window for Almanarre. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a real Flatty Patty for the most part, with only a couple of brief, tricky windows that might get your attention.
We start off with nothing worth paddling out for. The first few days are all tiny, weak ripples, if anything at all. Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are basically flat. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th offer up a tiny bit of movement, but we're talking 1 foot of weak, short-period windswell with poor wind angles. The water is a huge story here, though. It's clocking in at a very unusual 81°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a real anomaly, but it doesn't help the surf.
We then hit a long gap of nothing from the 24th onwards, with clean offshore winds but zero swell. Then, things get interesting, but not in a good way. On Sunday the 26th, a big pulse of swell arrives. We're looking at 6 feet on the morning building to 8 feet in the afternoon from the west. The combined energy jumps up to 237 and then a strong 915 – that's a lot of power. The period is only 6-8 seconds though, so it's a short-period windswell, not a clean groundswell. And the wind? It's howling onshore at 28 mph in the afternoon. That's a recipe for a messy, blown-out washing machine. This is one for the experts only, and even then, it looks more like a session for the kite surfers than paddle surfers. The 27th is still blown out and messy.
From the 28th of July right through to the 5th of August, we're back to a flat spell. There are days of glassy conditions and clean offshore winds, but absolutely no swell to ride. It's a real blank run.
The only sniff of a standout – and I use that term loosely – is the morning of Sunday the 26th of July. If you're an experienced surfer and you're desperate, the 6 feet west swell might offer a few waves before the wind really cranks up. The break is inconsistent, so you'll be waiting. But the WNW direction is a cross-on, and the quality is going to be poor. It's a gamble, but it's the only window with any real size.
Other than that, the forecast is telling me to leave the boards in the car and find something else to do. The crowds at Almanarre can be there sometimes, but honestly, there's nothing to crowd for. Don't hold your breath; forecasts can change, but this looks like a long, flat run.
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.
Almanarre is 6 km (4 miles) from Hyeres. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hyeres. Hyeres has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
