About Almanarre - le petit port

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated. Facts: verified, surf details estimated.

The spot faces NW (321°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (141°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 25°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Hyères, 5 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots, 3 wind sports spots and 5 dive sites.

Water about 21°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

Day scores here are the conditions out of 80; a trip's score on the results is the same conditions out of 100. The journey never scores. The forecast reaches about 10 days. Energy is the swell's power in kJ per metre of wave, from its height and interval: it grows with the square of each, so a long-period swell hits far harder than a short one the same size. Wind is in knots: 10 kn is about 19 km/h. The arrow points where the wind blows to; offshore wind, blowing from the land out to sea, is green and says so.
