The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch gears. Rusty here, and I’m talking feet and miles now.
Looking down the road for Almanarre, and it’s a pretty grim outlook to start. Thursday the 20th and Friday are all blown out – tiny little slop with onshore cross-shore winds. The water’s hot, 82°F — way above average for this time of year, so you’ll be swimming in bathwater, but don’t bother dragging your board.
We hit a real dead zone from Sunday the 23rd through Thursday the 27th. Swell energy is in the single digits or zero most days, and despite some glassy mornings with offshore breezes, there’s just nothing to ride. Flat and clean.
The one little blip comes on Friday the 28th of August. Morning brings a 4ft swell from the WNW (moderate energy of 104) with a clean cross-off breeze out of the ENE. At 6 seconds period, it’s short and a bit weak, but it’s the only surfable window we’ve got. The afternoon drops to 4ft from the west, still clean with an offshore ESE breeze, but it’s barely worth a paddle.
After that, it’s back to strong onshore winds and junk until we hit September, when the surf dies off completely again.
So bottom line: if you’ve got to get wet, Friday the 28th morning is your only shot. Small, clean, but nothing special. That’s the best this 16-day run has to offer.
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.
