The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough one. I’ve looked at the whole 16-day window, and for Alassio, it’s pretty much a flat spell. There are no good surf options here. The first few days show nothing but poor conditions, and that pattern just keeps going.
From now through to the 20th of September, we’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, energy-less waves. The combined swell energy barely ever gets above a whisper—most of the time it’s between 0 and 26 (weak energy)—and the swell heights are lucky to even reach 2ft. The wind is often cross-onshore or onshore, which doesn’t help. On the 9th, you get a glassy morning, but the swell is only 0.7ft from the SSW with a period of 3 seconds, so it’s not doing anything. The 12th picks up a little with a 1ft SW swell at 7-8 seconds, giving a combined energy of 18-26, but it’s still poor and the afternoon brings moderate cross-onshore chop.
The only real standout, if you could call it that, is the morning of the 18th of September. There’s a strong offshore wind from the NNW blowing at 19 mph, cleaning things up, and the water is flat but with a tiny 0.3ft SW swell. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup with that wind than a paddle session. The water temperature is a stonking 82°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year—over 9° warmer, that’s very unusual.
For a beginner-friendly spot like Alassio, which is inconsistent and exposed to the south, this is just a blank run. It’s normal for this area to have long quiet spells. Don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
