The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days out at Alassio are looking pretty grim. We’re staring at a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions, with barely a glimmer of anything rideable. It’s one of those periods where the ocean just doesn’t want to cooperate.
The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 84°F, which is a whopping 8°F warmer than average for this time of year – feels more like a bath than the Mediterranean out there.
We kick off Sunday the 16th with absolutely nothing – zero energy, flat calm. That flat spell stretches all the way through the week. Monday and Tuesday mornings (17th and 18th) tease tiny 1ft to 2ft windswell from the south, with a short, weak 5-second period, but the sea state is so poor it’s not worth a paddle. Wednesday the 19th is glassy but completely flat.
Thursday the 20th finally offers the only real chance of the whole period. The morning brings a modest 4ft swell from the SSW (6-second period), with a combined energy of 130 (moderate). The wind is a light northerly cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. It’s surfable, but the wave quality is very ordinary. It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s far from good.
After that, it’s right back to the doldrums for days. The next faint pulse arrives on Tuesday the 25th, with a morning swell of 5ft from the SSW (6 seconds) and energy up to 194 (moderate). Again, the wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are still just ordinary. The afternoon of that same day gets messy with a big jump in energy to 1266 (very strong) from a blustery SSW swell of 8ft, but the wind goes onshore and strong, turning it into a lumpy, choppy mess that’s only for experts and honestly looks more like a kite session than a surf.
From Wednesday the 26th onward, it’s a dead zone. Tiny swells, no energy, poor conditions. The whole of the second week looks like a total write-off.
So, the honest truth: there’s just one half-decent morning on the 20th, and even then it’s nothing to get excited about. If you’re desperate, you could find a few small, clean peelers, but don’t expect much. For the rest of the 16 days, leave the board at home.
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.
