The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, but maybe leave it in the car for a while. The next couple of weeks are looking dead flat for Alassio. We're staring down a long stretch of nothing, to be honest. The first real chance of a wave doesn't even show up until Friday the 22nd of August, and even then it’s just a tiny pulse. The waiting game is on.
The start of this period is a total bust. From now until the 21st, we’ve got a whole lot of flatness, with combined swell energy values sitting at zero or in single digits for most of it. The water is a balmy 84°, which is a massive 8° warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s way out of the ordinary, and it’s about the only exciting thing happening. We'll see some glassy mornings with light offshore breezes, but it’s all for nothing with no swell to push through. It’s just a lake out there.
The first sign of life appears on Friday the 22nd, but it's not worth getting excited about. A weak SSW pulse builds for the afternoon, hitting 4ft with a short 5-second period, but the wind swings onshore and turns it into a lumpy mess. The energy is still weak, only hitting 113, and the surf quality is poor. This is more of a hint than a surf. After that, we slip back into the flatness for the weekend and into the start of next week.
Then, on Monday the 25th of August, we finally see something that might actually be surfable. The morning brings in 3ft of S swell with a 6-second period and a clean offshore breeze. The combined energy is still weak at 44, but it’s the first time the conditions line up. It’s not going to be a classic, but it's the best we've seen in days. The beach break here is inconsistent at the best of times, and this is no exception, so you’ll be working for them. The afternoon sees that S breeze pick up to 22 mph, blowing cross-shore and chopping it all up, so make sure you get out early.
The final hope comes on Tuesday the 26th of August with another glassy morning. Swell drops slightly to 3ft from the SSW, but it’s clean and the energy is ticking up a little to 42. Again, the bank is inconsistent and the waves will be soft, but for a quick session before the onshores kick in, it’s all we’ve got. After that, we fade back into the flatness for the rest of the week. It’s a pretty grim outlook, but with the water this warm, it won’t stay this way for long. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

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.
