The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Alassio over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead. For an exposed spot like Alassio, this run is a real bummer. It’s almost a complete blank for the first week and a half. There’s a gap from now all the way through to the morning of Friday the 28th of August where there’s just about nothing worth paddling out for. A few tiny, weak slops creep in, but they’re barely ripples.
The first real pulse of energy shows up on Friday morning the 28th of August. We get a jump in swell, with waves hitting about 8 ft from the SW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is strong at (984), so there’s a lot of water moving. The wind is WSW at 16 mph, which is cross-offshore, so conditions should be relatively clean. That said, with a height over 8 ft, this one is really only for the experienced crew. Beginners will want to sit this one out.
After that, the surf backs right off again. Saturday the 29th has a small leftover, but the wind swings around and makes a mess of things. The rest of the days are a write-off, continuing through to the end of the forecast period on the 5th of September. There simply aren't any standout sessions in this window.
For reference, the water is running at 83°, which is more than 5° warmer than you’d expect for this time of year – that’s very unusual.
Keep your stick handy, but don’t expect much for a while. The forecasts can change, but this is a tough one.

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.
