The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is one of those outlooks where you might want to find something else to do for a while. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper wave. There’s a big gap right at the start with nothing worth paddling out for, and it doesn’t really get much better.
The first hint of anything surfable shows up on Saturday morning, 26 July, but honestly, it’s not great. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the west, but it’s a short-period 7 seconds, so it’s gonna be weak and choppy with a cross-onshore breeze. Not your day. The water’s sitting at 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—like, over 5° warmer—so it’s a weird one, but that doesn’t help the waves.
The whole run from 25 July through to the end of the first week is just poor. The swell energy is weak, barely cracking 300 (229 to 321) on the 26th, but it’s all wind-affected and messy. By Tuesday morning, 28 July, it drops right off to 1ft with a 5-second period—barely a ripple. There’s a long dry spell where the combined energy is in the single digits or low teens, like 1, 2, 6, 8. The wind’s not on your side either, mostly cross-on or onshore, though you get a few glassy patches on the 1st and 2nd of August with 2ft and 1ft swell. But that’s tiny, short-period stuff, not enough to stand up on.
The one standout? You’ve gotta wait until Sunday afternoon, 9 August. That’s the only day that gets a score from me. The wind switches to a light cross-offshore from the SSE, which will clean things up nicely at Almanarre (France). The swell jumps to 4ft from the west with a 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 98—still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. It’s surfable but very ordinary. This is a beginner-friendly spot, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect much. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but on a day like this, you might have it to yourself.
Bottom line: this is a long, flat stretch. Don’t get your hopes up for the first week. The second week is just as quiet, with the only real chance being that Sunday arvo. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking like a kiter’s paradise more than a surfer’s.
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.
