The Lowdown
Alright, mate, this is Rusty. Let me tell you straight up – it’s a pretty grim outlook for Almanarre over the next sixteen days. The whole forecast period is a write-off, with no real surf to get excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, weak, or messy conditions.
For the first week, from Friday the 28th of August through to Friday the 4th of September, the swell is tiny. We’re talking about waves that are barely ankle-high, with a combined energy that’s often in the single digits (like 5 on the Friday morning, 2 on the Monday morning). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-off, but even when it’s clean, there’s just no power in the water. The swell periods are short, around 3 to 6 seconds, so there’s no push or shape. The water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only good news.
Then we get a gap of absolutely nothing. The first few days of the second week are flat, with no recorded swell height. From about the 8th of September, we start to see a bit more energy, but it’s not good surf. The combined energy climbs to 52 on the Tuesday morning, and then to 121 on the Tuesday afternoon, but the wind is howling onshore from the west at 22 mph, making it a messy, blown-out 5ft wave. It’s actually too big and strong for the conditions – more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. The period is still short at 5 seconds, so it’s just lumpy chop.
After that, it fades again, with a few clean mornings but no swell to speak of, before a final spike on the 11th of September with 125 of combined energy and an onshore gale-force wind. The whole window is just a series of false starts. If you’re desperate, the cleanest windows are the mornings of the 30th and 31st of August, and the 1st of September, but you’ll be surfing ripples. This is a classic blank run for Almanarre – not much to do but watch the forecast and wait for a proper swell.
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.
