Acque-Calde (Savona) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a seat. This is a rough stretch for waves around here, but let's walk through the whole 16 days and see what's what.

Right off the bat, the next week is pretty much flat. From the 16th to the 23rd, there’s barely a pulse of energy – we’re talking weak swell at 0.6ft to 2ft with periods under 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is mostly in the single digits, which is weak. Morning offshore or glassy winds on a couple days keep things looking clean, but there’s simply no swell to push through. It’s a waiting game. We have a small bump of consistent energy on the 21st with a glassy morning, but it's still just ankle-biters.

Then, on Monday the 24th, something finally shows up. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the most significant swell we see in this whole window. The morning sees a 3ft SSW groundswell with a 5-second period, which is still short-period and junky, but there’s a solid offshore wind. The combined energy jumps to 49, which is moderate. By the afternoon, it builds a touch more to 4ft from the south, with a 6-second period and the energy at 97. The wind goes glassy, which is a huge plus. This is the standout of the whole period.

For this window, I’d be looking at Acque-Calde (Savona). The break is a fairly consistent spot, but it’s not the most exposed, so it’ll take what it can get. That 4ft south swell with glassy conditions on the afternoon of the 24th is the best bet we have. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there. Don’t expect perfection, but it’s surfable and clean. Crowds are possible here, so be ready to share.

After that, it drops right back off. The 25th through the 31st is back to poor conditions – tiny waves and weak energy. The 31st has a small bump to 1ft with a 6-second period and a clean, cross-off wind, but it’s not enough to get excited about. This is a really long, flat run for the area.

So, if you’re keen, mark your calendar for Monday the 24th. The rest of the window looks like a write-off. It’s a bummer, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but don’t hold your breath.
