The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's get real about the next 16 days. It's a desert out there. We're looking at a long stretch with absolutely zero decent surf on the cards. A complete blank run, which, to be honest, isn't all that uncommon for this area when it decides to shut down.
The water is a balmy 84°, which is about 8° warmer than it should be for this time of year. That's a massive anomaly, and the water is going to feel super warm.
The entire first week is nothing but tiny, weak, disorganized slop. Swell energy readings are in the single digits, occasionally bumping up to a weak 13. Wave heights are a mere 0.3ft to 1ft, with short, sad periods of 3 to 7 seconds coming from random directions. The mornings are clean with light offshore breezes, but it's completely flat and not worth a second glance.
The second week offers no relief. There's a tiny bump on the 16th with 1ft waves and a 5-second period, but it's just more of the same side-shore mess. The energy levels get up to a weak 20 and 21 on the 18th, but the waves are still only 1ft to 2ft from the south with a weak 5-second period. It's more paddle practice than surfing.
Given the conditions, this looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's just no push or power in the water. Save your energy, be patient, and wait for the ocean to wake up. Forecasts can shift, but as it stands now, it's a long, flat haul.
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.
