The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window for Alassio is a tough one. There’s no real swell to speak of for the whole stretch, and the small bumps that do pop up are all labelled as poor surf conditions. It’s a bit of a flat spell, so don’t plan your week around it.
We start off on Tuesday, 4th August with nothing doing. A tiny 0.7ft bump from the ESE with a period of just 3 seconds and combined energy of only (1) isn’t going to get you out of bed. The wind is a light cross-offshore in the morning, but it’s just too small. Wednesday and Thursday are the same story—flat or near-flat, with a glassy morning on Thursday 6th that’s tempting but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft. Friday 7th through to the middle of the second week is a real desert. You’ll see a few mornings with clean conditions and light offshore breezes, but the swell is either absent or so tiny it’s not worth paddling for. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations.
Then, right at the tail end, we get a little flicker of life. On Saturday 15th August, a 2ft southerly swell shows up in the morning under a clean offshore wind from the NNW. Combined energy is a weak (12), and the period is short at 5 seconds, but it’s the best we’ll see. The afternoon picks up a touch to 2ft from the south, period still 5 seconds, energy (29), but the wind swings onshore from the SE. Sunday 16th is similar, with a 2ft south swell in the morning and clean offshore NNW wind, energy (21). After that, it fades back to tiny.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the Saturday morning session on 15th August. It’s the biggest swell of the period, and that offshore NNW wind will keep it clean. But honestly, it’s still tiny—beginners might find it okay, but it won’t thrill anyone. The water temp is about average for the time of year. Alassio is an exposed beach break, and with this kind of weak, short-period swell, it’s just not going to wrap in with any punch. The optimum swell direction is south, and we do get some south swell, but it’s too small to matter.
So, bottom line: there’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. It’s a flat run, but for an area like this, it’s not unheard of. Keep an eye on the forecasts—things can change. For now, leave the board in the car.
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.
