Alassio Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. I’m looking at the next couple of weeks, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this stretch is a real flat spell for Alassio. The waves are just not showing up, so we’re looking at a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The first solid chance of a surfable wave isn’t even on the cards for the first week. It’s going to be a quiet one.

The first real blip of interest doesn’t come until Monday, August 11th. Early that morning, we’ve got a tiny bit of energy trying to push through. There’s a 1ft bump from the SSE with a period of 5 seconds, and the wind is glassy. That’s rare and it’s the best we’ll see in a while. The combined energy is a very weak 13, so it’s going to be small and pretty weak, but at least it’ll be clean. If you’re desperate for a longboard or a foamy, that’s your window, but don’t expect much.

Later that same afternoon, the swell picks up a touch to 2ft from the East, but the wind goes cross-on, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. The energy is still weak at 14. It’s not a standout, just the best of a bad bunch.

Then after that, we drop right back off. The rest of the week into the weekend is flat. There’s a few mornings with clean offshore winds, but absolutely no swell to ride. It’s frustrating. The water temperature is 82°, which is 7° warmer than normal – that’s very unusual, so the water is bath-like, but you’ll be floating on a mirror.

The only other sniff of a wave comes on Monday, August 17th, in the morning. A 1ft SE swell with a 4-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the NNW. The energy is a measly 4. It’s tiny, weak, and inconsistent. Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this isn’t totally unexpected, but it still stings. The setup might look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those choppier afternoons, but for us wave riders, it’s a washout. Stay patient, and check the forecasts again in a few days.

Rusty.
