Table - best surf conditions forecast for Alassio over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle at Alassio. We've got a long stretch of flat or nearly-flat conditions, mixed with onshore slop. Don't get your hopes up.
Overall Pattern
The 16-day window kicks off with nothing. From Wednesday the 16th to about Wednesday the 23rd of September, it's mostly a write-off. There are a few tiny pulses of energy, but the wave heights are barely a ripple, and the wind is either cross-shore or just messy. You're looking at 0 to 2ft at best, with combined swell energy barely scratching double digits (52 max, then 21, 16, 12 – weak).
The Only Window
The only faint glimmer comes on Thursday morning, October 1st. We finally see a small bump: 3ft from the SSW, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy ticks up to a still-modest 61. The north wind will be light, keeping the surface clean. It's surfable, but very ordinary. The water temperature is a notable 80°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual.
Standout (If You Must)
If you're dying for a grovel, the Thursday morning, October 1st session at Alassio is your only real play. But this is a beginner-level break that is *inconsistent*, and for good reason – the swell is tiny and weak. The wind will be light and clean, which is a positive, but the wave quality will be poor. It's really only for the desperate.
Hang tight. It's going to be a quiet run.

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.
