The Lowdown
G'day, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you about the surf outlook for Alassio over the next 16 days. I've had a good look at the charts, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it. Honestly, the first week and a half is a write-off. We're looking at a long, frustrating dry spell with barely a ripple on offer. Most days the swell is tiny, often below 2 ft, and the energy readings are weak – many of them just single digits. You'll be staring at a flat ocean.
The only faint glimmer in that first stretch comes on the morning of Saturday, 22nd August. The wave energy bumps up to a moderate 84, with a 3 ft swell from the SSW at 7 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, keeping it clean. But even then, the conditions are described as "very ordinary," and the overall score is poor. It's really just an exercise in getting wet rather than getting good waves.
We then hit another long, dead period right through until the end of the month. It's flat, with zero energy for days on end.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. The standout of the entire forecast, and the one you need to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Saturday, 29th August. This is the one to get excited about. A proper pulse of swell arrives, with the combined energy jumping to a solid 247 – that's a significant boost. The swell comes in at 5 ft from the SE, with a 6-second period. The wind is a light offshore from the NNE, which will groom the surface to a clean state. This is a proper morning's surfing, even if the swell direction isn't exactly what Alassio prefers. For Alassio, this is as good as it gets in this window. Keep in mind the water temperature is 84°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year – you'll be surfing in a warm bath.
After that highlight, the energy drops again. The morning of Sunday, 30th August, sees a 3 ft SSW swell with moderate energy at 101, and clean conditions with a light N wind, but it's a definite step down from the day before.
So, to wrap it up: the first 12 days are mostly flat. The only real, solid surf on offer is the morning of Saturday, 29th August, with a nice 5 ft SE groundswell and clean offshores. Get on it if you can.
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.
