The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down.
Mate, it's a pretty tough stretch on the horizon. The forecast is a real mixed bag and honestly, there's a lot of waiting around here. The first week is mostly a non-starter for surf. We've got a real gap in decent conditions from the 23rd all the way through to the 1st of September where the surf is practically non-existent or just messy. There's a little flicker of life on the 2nd, but it's not a clean winner.
The standout moment, and it's the one to circle, is the morning of Friday the 21st of August at Alassio. We get a glassy morning with the wind coming from the WNW at 6 mph, which is just about perfect. The swell is bumping at 4 ft from the SW. It's not huge, but combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (156) and that period is a short 6 seconds, so it's more of a wind swell. It's surfable, you'll get a few, and it'll be clean. But it's ordinary, not epic. The crowds here are possible, so keep that in mind.
Otherwise, the 20th of August morning has a similar 4 ft wave from the SSW with a clean cross-off breeze, but the energy is still weak (93). The 2nd of September morning sees a bump in size to 4 ft (SSW) with clean wind, but the energy is moderate (127) and the wind is only cross-off, not glassy. The afternoon of the 2nd jumps to 8 ft from the SW, but it's cross-on at 9 mph, making it a messy, lumpy affair which is only for the experienced, and even then it's not ideal.
The water temp is a wild story here. It's sitting at 83°F, which is a massive 8° above average for the time of year. That's seriously unusual, like stepping into a bath. So you'll be surfing in boardshorts for sure.
Overall, if you've got a board, Friday the 21st morning is your best bet. Otherwise, you're looking at a lot of small, onshore, or non-existent surf for the next couple of weeks.
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.
