The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks in Alassio.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any swell to speak of for the next week and a half. The combined wave energy barely scratches double digits, often sitting in the single digits or even zero (0 to 25), which is about as weak as it gets. The water is sitting at a warm 83°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing working in our favour.
The first real day you’d even bother checking the ocean is Saturday, July 18th. The morning is the pick of a very flat bunch, with a tiny 2 ft south swell creeping in at a short 5 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the north at 6 mph, so the surface is clean. It’s a beginner-level wave at best, and the break is inconsistent, so don’t expect much. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a light cross-onshore breeze.
Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th are even smaller, with drop-off in swell height to 1 ft and 1.0 ft. The mornings offer clean conditions with light offshore or cross-off winds, but the energy is pathetic (19 and 9 combined energy, respectively). Afternoons turn onshore and choppy. From Tuesday the 21st right through to the very end of July, the swell is essentially non-existent. We’re talking flat mornings with glassy conditions, but no waves to ride. Combined energy values are often 0, 1, or 2. This is a proper flat spell.
The first glimmer of something happens on the morning of Saturday, August 1st. We get a 2 ft south swell with a 5-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the northwest at 3 mph. The combined energy bumps up to 28, which is still weak but at least it’s not zero. It’s clean, but it’s tiny and inconsistent. Sunday the 2nd has a 0.3 ft swell with a slightly longer 7-second period, but it’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best on offer is the morning of Saturday, August 1st, and even that is a stretch to call “surfable.” It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. For a beginner, the tiny waves might be okay for a paddle, but for anyone wanting a proper ride, you’re better off waiting for the next system.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts. Things can change.

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.
