The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what’s looking like a pretty quiet 16-day stretch ahead for Alassio. To be honest, we’ve got a big gap of small or no swell for most of the period, so don't get your hopes up for any real sessions. The weather's gonna be trying to fool us with some clean mornings, but there just isn’t enough push in the water. The water temp is around average for this time of year, so that’s not your worry.
Your only real shot at a halfway decent wave comes this Friday morning, 21st August. We’ve got a pulse of 1.6m (5 ft) SW swell rolling in, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s not much period, so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly, but the wind is offshore from the NW at 5 km/h (3 mph). That clean, glassy wind is the main positive here. The combined energy hits 290 (moderate energy), so there’s a bit more juice than the usual flatness, but with that short period, expect it to be a bit disorganized. It’s definitely a beginner-friendly size, so Alassio remains a good spot for learners to get some practice. Crowds are possible here, but with such a marginal forecast, it might not be too packed.
After that morning window, it’s all downhill. By Friday afternoon, the wind swings onshore, and by Saturday we’re back to tiny waves (0.5m / 2 ft or less). From Sunday 23rd August right through to Wednesday 2nd September, the swell just dies completely – we’re looking at 0.1m (0.3 ft) or flat, day after day. The combined energy drops to a couple of single digits or zero. You’ve got a solid 10-day stretch of nothing. The wind stays light and clean each morning, but with no waves, that’s just a pretty view. A few little hiccups of energy show up around the 28th (Friday morning) with a 0.7m (2 ft) SW swell, but that’s surfable at best, not worth the board wax.
There is an attempt at a tiny bit of swell on Tuesday afternoon, 1st September, with 0.1m (0.3 ft) from S, but that’s a joke. This is a classic Mediterranean flat spell for Alassio. Nothing’s consistent; it’s just a blank run for the area. Keep an eye on forecasts – things can change, but right now, stay at home.
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.
