Acque-Calde (Savona) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about this stretch of water. This is a grim outlook for the whole 16 days.

To be honest, we’re looking at a near-complete blank. There’s nothing ridable, nothing with any power, and the pattern is stuck on flat or near-flat dribble. The only spot on the cards is Acque-Calde (Savona), but it’s a beginner-friendly zone that’s fairly consistent, which in this case doesn’t help.

We start on Saturday 25 July and right out of the gate it’s a dead loss. The combined swell energy is a pathetic 0 to 1, with waves barely reaching 0.7ft and a period of just 2 seconds. That’s not surf. Saturday morning has a light offshore from the NNW, which would clean things up if there were any swell, but there isn’t. The afternoon turns onshore with a bit of SE breeze.

Sunday 26 July offers a slight nudge up to 2ft from the SE, still with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 21, but that’s still weak. A risk of thunderstorms in the morning with a cross-shore breeze, swapping to onshore in the afternoon. It’s poor, rideable for a beginner on a foamie, but not worth getting wet for.

The next few days are a heartbreaking repeat. Monday 27 July peaks with a 2ft swell from the south and a combined energy of 32, but the period is still a snappy 5 seconds. The morning shows a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, which is the best wind we see all week, but the waves just aren't there for a proper surf.

From Tuesday 28 July right through to Tuesday 4 August, we hit a brutal dry spell. Days and days of flatness. The combined energy drops to zero. The wind does go glassy or light offshore on a few of these mornings – like Tuesday afternoon the 28th and Friday morning the 31st – but with zero swell to work with, it’s just a pretty lake. This is a solid 8-day gap with absolutely no recommendations.

The pattern finally tries to wake up late in the window. On Thursday 6 August, we see a 2ft south swell (6-second period) pushing the combined energy to 24. The morning has a light offshore from the NW, making it clean. It’s the best looking window of the whole forecast, but even then, it’s tiny and weak. For an absolute beginner or someone with a longboard, it might be a fun ankle-snatcher, but for anyone else, it’s a miss.

Friday 7 August through to Sunday 9 August returns to tiny, onshore slop. The swell direction swings south-southwest and south, but the energy is in the single digits, the period is short (4 to 5 seconds), and the easterly winds are cross-onshore bringing in wind ripples and a bit of chop.

For the dedicated crew, I’d keep an eye on that Thursday 6 August morning in the hope the models refine something a touch bigger, but right now, it’s a hard pass. Save the fuel and go find a skatepark.

Rusty.
