Acque-Calde (Savona) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. For the entire 16-day outlook, we’re looking at a real flat spell for Acque-Calde (Savona). There’s a long gap from now until the 1st of August with no real surf to speak of. The water is sitting at a balmy 82°, which is a fair bit warmer than what you’d normally expect for this time of year – more than three degrees warmer, to be precise, so that’s a real standout.

The first sliver of hope shows up on the afternoon of Saturday, the 1st of August. We’re talking a tiny 1 ft swell from the SSW, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is only 5 (weak). The wind is onshore from the ESE, so it’s not going to be clean. Honestly, it’s barely rideable. Sunday the 2nd of August looks a touch better in the morning – glassy conditions with a 1 ft swell from the S, period still short at 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a bit higher at 11 (still weak). It’s small and weak, but clean.

After that, the forecast dries up again. For the next several days, through the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th of August, there’s nothing doing. A few mornings are glassy, but with zero swell, it’s a complete write-off. There’s a tiny 0.3 ft bump on the 5th of August afternoon, but that’s not worth paddling out for.

The second week offers a few more glimpses. The morning of Friday the 7th of August is glassy with a 1 ft southerly swell, still short period (5 sec), and combined energy of 5 (weak). The morning of Saturday the 8th of August has a clean, cross-offshore wind from the NNW, but the swell is down to 0.7 ft from the S, period of 4 seconds, and energy of just 1. It’s barely a ripple.

The rest of the outlook from the 9th of August onward is a flat, dry run. There are a few mornings with offshore winds from the NNW, like on the 10th and 11th of August, but with no swell to speak of, it’s just a nice day for a swim. The wind is strong on the 9th of August morning (15 mph offshore), but there’s nothing for it to groom.

So, to sum it up – there’s no standout surf in this 16-day window. The best option on offer is probably the glassy, clean conditions on the morning of Sunday, the 2nd of August, with that 1 ft S swell. But it’s tiny, weak, and only for the most desperate on a longboard. The rest is a long, flat spell. For this area, a blank run like this isn’t unusual, but it still stings. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor for long.

Rusty.
