The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for Alassio over the next couple of weeks.
It's a quiet start, to be honest. We're looking at a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions from now through the end of August and into the first few days of September. The wave energy is just not there, mostly sitting between 0 and 25 (weak energy) for the foreseeable future. It's not until the morning of Saturday the 29th of August that we finally see something worth getting a little excited about, but that's a long wait of about five days with nothing on offer.
Finally, on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August, things start to look up. The wind will be light offshore from the northwest, which is a major plus for clean conditions. The swell will be a solid 5 ft out of the southwest, with a period of 6 seconds. That's a short-period, wind-driven swell, so it won't be the most powerful stuff, but it will be rideable. The combined energy picks up to 271 (moderate wave energy). The water temperature is about average for this time of year. This is the standout window of the whole forecast for Alassio. The afternoon looks a bit more marginal with a bigger, disorganized 7 ft swell and a cross-onshore breeze, so aim for the morning.
Following that, the surf drops right back off again. Sunday the 30th into the first week of September sees a return to tiny, poor conditions with energy levels dropping back to between 1 and 37 (weak energy). The only other small flicker of life is on the morning of Monday the 7th of September, with a 2 ft southwest swell and clean offshore winds, but it's only going to be tiny and weak (37 - weak energy).
So, to sum it up: if you're hanging for a wave, circle Saturday the 29th of August. The morning session with that clean, offshore wind and a bit of size is your best bet. Everything else in this 16-day window is a hard pass.
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.
