The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let me level with you – the 16-day outlook for Alassio is as flat as yesterday’s beer. There’s just no surf to get excited about. The whole run is a blank stretch; we’re talking tiny scraps that won’t even break properly, with combined energies barely registering (0 to 21). The water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, you’d think you were in the tropics.
Looking at Tuesday the 15th, it’s dead calm – glassy but zero swell. That sets the tone. Wednesday the 16th has a glimpse of 1ft from the SW with a weak 4-second period, but the wind goes onshore and it’s a no-go. Thursday the 17th offers the best of a bad lot: 2ft from the S, 5-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze in the morning. The combined energy hits a meagre 21, so don’t kid yourself – it’s barely ankle-high. By Friday the 18th, we’re back to 2ft from the S with a 5-second period, but the wind swings onshore later, junking it up.
The weekend (19th and 20th) is even worse – 1ft and 0.7ft, then nothing. The entire second week from Monday the 21st through Wednesday the 30th is a desert: most days show zero swell, and the rare 0.3ft to 1ft pulses are from weird directions like NE or ESE with periods under 5 seconds. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 26th morning – 0.3ft from the S with an 8-second period and a clean offshore NNW wind at 9 mph – but it’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, this is a normal dry spell for this area when the swell just won’t show. A few mornings are glassy or clean, but without any push, it’s not surf. If you’re desperate, maybe the Thursday 17th morning is your best shot for a tiny waist-high wave, but keep expectations on the floor. Forecasts can change, but right now Alassio is a flat spell. No standouts today.
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.
