The Lowdown
Right then, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the Alassio stretch over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim picture for the immediate future. The water is sitting at a balmy 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s firing. We’ve got a long, dry spell of nothing worthwhile on the cards. From now, right through the end of the month and into the first days of August, we’re looking at a real drought. You’ll see tiny, near-flat waves and a lot of days where the swell energy is just a measly 1 to 18 (weak energy). It’s the kind of setup that’ll have you checking the forecast more than your wax.
There’s a glimmer of hope, but it’s a long way off. On the morning of Thursday, 6th August, we finally see a pulse of 3 ft from the SW, with a period of 5 seconds. It’s coming in clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is still weak (39). The afternoon sees that energy pick up a little (60), but the wind turns onshore, spoiling the party.
The real standout, the only one worth circling on the calendar, is the morning of Saturday, 8th August. The swell builds to 5 ft from the SW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a solid 316 (moderate wave energy), which is the biggest we’ll see by a long shot. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be clean enough. This is the best on offer, but it’s still only being called “marginal”, so set your expectations accordingly. For a beginner, that 5 ft might be a bit much.
The trouble is, Alassio is an exposed spot that needs a southerly swell, but most of the swell we get is weak and short-period. For the most part, the setup here looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially with the onshore winds in the afternoons.
Stay patient. It won’t be flat forever.
Rusty.

Information about the Alassio Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Alassio provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Alassio can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Alassio 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 (Alassio) 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 Alassio 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.
