The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks for Alassio are a real bummer. We’re looking at a long stretch of barely any surf, if any at all. For the first week and a half, you’ll be fighting flat spells with only tiny, weak dribbles showing up. It’s not a complete shutout, but it’s close. We’ve got a gap with no real recommendations from now until the 15th, then again after that.
The first faint pulse comes on Tuesday, 15th September. We’re talking a tiny 0.3 ft of swell from the SW, with a short period of 4 seconds. The wave energy is just 1 – that’s weak. The morning has a light offshore wind, so the surface will look clean, but there’s nothing to ride. Afternoon gets messy with a light cross-onshore. Don’t get excited.
Wednesday the 16th is a tease. A glassy morning with 1 ft from the SW, but the period is a terrible 3 seconds, and energy is still just 1. It’s dead flat in terms of any real push. The afternoon goes cross-onshore and flat again.
Thursday the 17th is the only real standout in the whole run. The morning brings a slightly better 2 ft from the S, period up to 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 30 – still weak, but it’s the best we’ll see. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, so it’ll be clean. The water is a staggering 80° – far warmer than normal for this time of year, which is very unusual. Still, the waves are tiny and weak, so it’s only a paddle for the most desperate. The afternoon gets choppy with a thunderstorm risk.
From there it’s back to almost nothing. A few mornings show a clean 0.3 ft from the SW on Friday 18th, Saturday 19th, and Sunday 27th, but with periods of 4 to 8 seconds and energy between 1 and 4, it’s barely surfable. The winds are often offshore or cross-offshore, so it looks clean, but there’s just no swell to work with. The whole second week is the same story: tiny, weak, and not worth the trip.
Honestly, if you’re in Alassio, leave the board at home for this stretch. The only day with even a whisper of a wave is Thursday the 17th morning, and that’s only for a beginner looking for a tiny, clean paddle. This is a blank run for the area, and it’s pretty normal when the forecast is this quiet.
Stay patient, 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.
