The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, lookin' over the extended forecast for Almanarre. Honestly, mate, this is a tough stretch. The next couple of weeks are lookin' real flat, with barely a ripple to get excited about. We've got a long dry spell ahead before any real swell shows up.
The only solid window of opportunity comes right at the tail end of the forecast. For the first week and a half, from the 20th of July right through to the 30th, it's pretty much a write-off. The combined energy is just a whisper, with values barely hittin' double digits, mostly sittin' around 1 to 9 (weak energy). There are heaps of days with zero energy and "poor surf conditions" across the board. The wind is a mix of onshore and cross-off, but with no swell to work with, it doesn't matter. You'll be sittin' on the beach watchin' flat water.
Now, we finally see a pulse of energy around the 1st of August. The Saturday morning of the 1st has a 3 ft West swell, but it's a short period 5 seconds, so it's not gonna be special. The combined energy climbs to 55 (moderate energy), and with a light offshore easterly breeze, it'll be clean. Saturday afternoon bumps up to 5 ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore, turning it choppy. The real standout, if you can call it that, is the Sunday morning of the 2nd of August. We get a 4 ft swell from the West with a 6-second period, and the combined energy is 149 (moderate energy). The wind is a light cross-shore from the NNW, so it's not perfect, but it's the best looking set of the whole run. The swell is small enough for beginners. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Honestly, that Sunday morning of the 2nd of August is your best bet, but keep your expectations low. The rest of the time, it's a total blank. Almanarre is an exposed spot, and it tends to have these long flat spells. Don't bank on anything.
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.
