Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down this next stretch. It’s looking grim, so don’t expect much.
The water at Almanarre is a warm 77°F, which is a solid 7°F above the norm for this time of year. That’s a real anomaly. The waves, though? Almost non-existent for the first week and a half.
Starting Thursday, 9th July, we’ve got a weak 2ft SW swell with a short 5-second period. The energy is a measly 29. It’s clean in the morning with a light NE cross-off, but it’s poor surf. The wind goes offshore from the ESE in the afternoon, but the swell drops to 1ft. Not worth a second look.
Friday, 10th July, is dead. 0.3ft of swell. Offshore ENE wind in the morning keeps it clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
From Saturday, 11th July, all the way through to Monday, 20th July, we’re looking at a massive stretch of days with zero swell. That’s more than a week of flat, glassy water. It’s frustrating because the wind is often light, but the ocean is a total mirror.
Monday, 20th July, in the afternoon, we finally see a pulse: 4ft of W swell, 6-second period, energy of 95. The wind is a clean SE cross-off. It’s small and weak, but it’s the first real wave in a long time. Still rated as poor.
Tuesday, 21st July, offers a bit more: 3ft to 3ft W swell, 5-second period, energy between 45 and 50. Light offshore in the morning, cross-off in the afternoon. It’s surfable on a longboard if you’re jonesing, but it has no punch.
The best of a bad lot is Thursday, 23rd July. The morning has a 3ft W swell, 6-second period, and energy of 62. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the SSW, so it’s a bit bumpy. The afternoon sees 4ft, same W swell, but the wind picks up from the SW and makes it choppy.
Friday, 24th July, the morning is clean with a NE cross-off and 3ft W swell, 5-second period, energy of 51. But the afternoon is a mess: strong 30 km/h onshore W wind ruining the 5ft swell, even though the energy climbs to 109.
There’s no gem here. The surf is consistently poor, tiny, and poorly timed. Almanarre is a spot that needs a clean SW swell, and we’re just not getting it. This is a dry spell, plain and simple. Hang loose and check back later.
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.
