The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve scanned the charts for the Alassio area and, to be brutally honest, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a full sixteen days in the window, but for the next week or so, it’s mostly flat or so close to it that you’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board. The water is sitting at a very unusual 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—like bathwater.
The first real whisper of something surfable comes on the morning of Saturday the 22nd. Alassio will see a small SSW swell, about 3ft, with a period of 7 seconds. It’s not going to light anyone’s world on fire, but the wind is a light N at 3 mph, giving us a clean cross-off breeze. The combined wave energy is weak (70), so don’t expect much push. It’s a beginner-friendly wave size, and the crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might get a few fun, small ones to yourself if you’re lucky. The afternoon goes a bit sloppy with ESE cross-onshore, so make the morning session.
Sunday the 23rd morning is cleaner again with a N wind at 6 mph, but the swell has dropped to just 1ft (16 energy). It’s barely cracking. After that, we hit a long, flat gap. From Monday the 24th right through to Friday the 28th morning, there’s virtually nothing—rows of zeros for swell height. You’d be staring at a lake. The afternoons in that stretch are often choppy with onshore wind, so not even kiting looks good.
Saturday the 29th morning offers a slight pulse: a SSW swell of about 2-3ft at 7 seconds, with a light NNE breeze at 6 mph giving clean cross-off conditions. The combined energy creeps up to 56—still weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen in over a week. It’s again beginner-friendly in size, and the clean morning glass might make it worth a dawn paddle.
The rest of the first week of September stays poor. A brief uptick appears on the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September, with glassy conditions (WNW, 3 mph) and a tiny 2ft SW swell (26 energy). It’s clean but small. The afternoon of that same day, the swell bumps to 4ft from the S with a 6-second period and energy of 147, but the wind swings to a moderate S at 12 mph, making it choppy and cross-onshore. That afternoon swell might look okay in the water, but the wind will trash it for paddling—might actually be a better slot for a kite session with that wind and chop.
Overall, nothing here is a standout. The best option on offer, if you can call it that, is the Saturday the 22nd morning session at Alassio, with the cleanest conditions and a tiny bit of knee-high to maybe waist-high energy. The Saturday the 29th morning is a distant second, though slightly bigger. For the rest of the outlook, we’re looking at a lot of flat days, poor conditions, and one or two days where the numbers say go but the wind says no. Stick to the clean mornings if you’ve got to get wet.
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.
