The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Alassio is serving up over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet stretch for this part of the coast. The forecast is mostly flat or tiny, and when there is a hint of swell, the winds and conditions are rarely on our side. You’ll want to keep expectations low, but I’ll point out the one or two moments where it might be worth a paddle.
For the next several days, from Sunday the 23rd right through to early the following week, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at waves under 2 ft or nothing at all, with poor surf conditions. The combined energy is barely registering, often in single digits (7 or less). Water temp is a very warm 83°F, which is about 8°F above normal – that’s very unusual for this time of year, so you’ll be swimming in bathwater if you go in.
Monday the 26th of August morning is glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft from the south – basically a lake. Not worth suiting up.
The first real glimmer comes on Saturday the 29th of August. The morning shapes up as the best we’ll see in this whole outlook. We get a clean, glassy start with a light offshore from the NW. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the SSW, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy hitting 66 – still modest energy but the best we’ll get. The problem? The break here (Alassio) is exposed to the south, and the optimum direction is south for good waves. This SSW swell is close to that, but the size is small. Still, with glassy conditions and that little push, it’s the standout window. Just a heads up – this spot is inconsistent, so don’t expect it to fire often, and crowds are possible here sometimes.
After that morning, it drops back down. Sunday the 30th morning is clean with a light offshore, but the swell is only 2 ft. The rest of the week into early September is rinse and repeat – tiny waves, poor conditions, and onshore wind messing up what’s there. From the 4th of September onward, we’re looking at a solid gap of several days with zero surf on offer.
So, bottom line: the only real chance to get a wave here is on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the best of a quiet run. Keep the board handy, but don’t get your hopes up for much else.
Stay salty,
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.
