The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on offer for the Alassio region over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it's a pretty tough stretch of surf ahead. The whole 16-day window is looking lean, with only a few mornings that are even worth a mention. There's a big gap of weak, tiny swells that just won't light up the sandbars.
We kick off with the best of a bad lot on Friday, August 21st. Early in the morning, there's a 1ft swell from the SSW, and we've got light offshore winds from the NNW. That's the cleanest look of the whole period. The wave energy is moderate at 134, and with the short period of 6 seconds, it'll be a bit lumpy and disorganised, but it's about as good as it's going to get for a paddle. The water is a very warm 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be needing a thick wetsuit.
After that, it's a whole lot of nothing. We drop back to tiny, weak swells with no real power for days. The next slight hope comes on Thursday, August 28th with a 3ft SSW swell in the morning. The light offshore winds from the NNW will keep it clean, but the wave energy is only moderate (56). The period is still short at 7 seconds, so don't expect much push.
The rest of the run is all knee-high dribble, light winds, and no real energy. The swell direction is often South or West, not really hitting Alassio well. There's a couple of mornings in early September with a clean 2ft, but it's so small it's barely a ripple. Honestly, for an exposed beach setup like this, the conditions are more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer when the wind picks up. It's a scratchy period, but forecasts can turn around.

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.
