The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it's a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell before any real surf shows up.
The outlook kicks off with a bit of a wait. For the first few days, it's all about flat, clean conditions, but no waves to speak of. Sunday the 7th and Monday the 8th are glassy, but there's nothing to ride. It's a real tease.
We finally see a pulse of energy on the morning of Wednesday the 10th. Almanarre picks up a small 4ft swell from the west, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (134), so it's got some push, but the conditions are described as "very ordinary." The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, which will keep it clean. Still, the forecast score is low, so it's not a standout.
The best chance we've got in this whole window, and it's a relative term, is the morning of Friday the 11th of September. Almanarre sees a 3ft west swell with a 7-second period. The energy is weak (69), but we get a solid offshore breeze from the ENE at 15 mph. That offshore wind will groom the faces, making it your best bet for a clean, if small, session. The afternoon stays offshore but the swell drops off.
After that, it's back to tiny or flat conditions right through to the end of the forecast. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, if you're desperate, the Friday morning of the 11th is your only real window for a clean wave. Otherwise, it's a waiting game. The setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session for most of this period.
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.
