The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up, because I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat-to-rubbish surf here at Alassio for the next couple of weeks.
The water is sitting at a very warm 82°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year. It feels like a bath, but that’s about the only positive. The energy is just not there. The combined swell energy is weak, barely making it into double digits most days, with a few readings of 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, or 20 – that’s tiny, gutless stuff.
We’ve got a serious gap from the start. Monday the 31st of August through to Thursday the 10th of September is basically a write-off. Tiny 0.7ft to 2ft S/SSW slop with periods of 3-5 seconds, and mostly cross-off or onshore breezes. It’s clean sometimes, but there’s nothing to ride. Friday the 11th of September morning is the first tiny flicker of hope. The swell jumps to 3ft from the SSW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to 123, which is at least moderate. It’s glassy in the morning, which is a rare treat, but the wave comment says it’s only “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a beginner-friendly size, but that’s about the best it gets.
After that, Saturday the 12th drops straight back to 1ft, and then it’s back to zero or near-zero swell for the rest of the run. By Tuesday the 15th of September, it’s flat again.
So, what’s the standout? There’s really only one, and it’s the Friday the 11th of September morning session. The 3ft SSW swell, with glassy wind and a clean surface, is the only time you’ll get a wave that’s even worth paddling for. The break is Alassio, which is beginner-rated and inconsistent, and it’s exposed to the S swell. The wind is offshore from the NNW, so it’ll be reasonably clean, but the swell is short-period and weak. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only show in town.
Everything else is a bust. The crowds are “sometimes” an issue at Alassio, but honestly, with this lack of swell, you’ll have the place to yourself. The period stays short (under 8 seconds) for the whole run, so even when there’s a pulse, the waves will be weak and crumbly.
In summary, forget about the next 10 days. The only real chance to get wet is the morning of Friday the 11th of September. After that, it’s back to flatness. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s grim.

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.
