Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Alassio over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this one’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, flat spell before anything even hints at a pulse, and even then, conditions are a real mixed bag.
We start off on Thursday, July 9th, and honestly, it’s a total washout. The water’s warm – a balmy 79°F, which is *much* warmer than normal for this time of year – but that’s about the only positive. Swell is a tiny 0.3ft from the SW, with a weak period of 6 seconds. The wave energy is next to nothing (only 3). To top it off, we’ve got a light cross-onshore breeze. It’s a flat, messy scene.
This grim pattern sticks around for days. Friday the 10th through Sunday the 19th is a massive gap with pretty much no surf to speak of. You’ll see the odd ripple on the charts – maybe 0.7ft or 1ft – but the energy is so low (1 to 8 in that combined energy reading), it’s not worth paddling out for. There are some glassy mornings, like Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, but there’s zero swell to go with that clean surface. It’s cruel.
Now, let’s skip ahead. Toward the very end of the outlook, around Tuesday, July 22nd, we finally see some movement. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the SSW, with the period sitting at 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a modest 32. That’s still small and junky, but it’s something. The wind on Wednesday morning, July 23rd, turns into a moderate offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, which will clean it right up.
Even then, with the swell direction coming from the SSW, it’s not hitting Alassio on its optimum S direction perfectly. And honestly, 2ft is barely rideable for a beginner. This spot is exposed to the south, so it does manage to pick up a little bit of that angle. But for the experienced crew? You might find a knee-to-waist-high wave if you’re lucky and the offshore wind lines it up. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only game in town during this whole 16-day window.
Look, for an exposed sand-and-pebble beach like Alassio, this kind of flat run is more normal than you’d hope. It just doesn’t have the consistency to pull in swell often. With the energy levels so weak for so long, if you’re really itching for a paddle, you’d be better off with a longboard and a whole lot of patience. Kite surfers might get a look on those breezy afternoons, but for us wave hunters? This one’s a snoozer.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change. But for now, keep the board in the bag.
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.
