The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got.
It’s going to be a quiet slog for a while. The first real surf that’s worth talking about doesn't show up until Tuesday the 25th, so we’re looking at a dry spell of about a week from now. For a while there, the waves are tiny and the wind is all over the place, not doing us any favours.
Now, Almanarre is the only spot on the menu. It's a typically exposed patch, but it’s been real inconsistent lately. The best of a very quiet run lands on Tuesday morning, 25th August. We get a 5ft swell rolling in from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. Combined swell energy is moderate (134). The magic part? Glassy conditions in the morning – that offshore flow from the east is going to leave the surface clean as a whistle. That’s your standout window. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
Come Tuesday afternoon, the wind swings and it gets messy quick. From then on it’s mostly onshore and choppy through the rest of the outlook, with poor quality and a lot of wind. Nothing else in the whole 16 days really pushes above that short morning window on the 25th. For such an inconsistent spot, that little Tuesday window is the one to chase. Keep your expectations grounded – it’s not a monster, just your best look.
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.
