Alassio Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Alassio over the next two weeks is pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions with very little to get excited about.

The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 80°, which is a whopping 9° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a real anomaly, but it doesn't make up for the lack of swell.

We're looking at a gap from now until the morning of Thursday, September 17th with absolutely no surf to recommend. That's a few days of nothing.

Then, on Thursday, September 17th, a tiny pulse shows up. Thursday morning sees a weak 2 ft south swell with a short period of 5 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the NNW, which would normally be a good sign for clean conditions, but the wave energy is minimal at just (12). It's really just small, weak waves and honestly, it's still poor surf.

Friday, September 18th morning might be your best bet across the whole 16-day window, and that's saying something. The swell bumps up to a meagre 2 ft from the south, still with that short 5-second period. The wind is offshore from the WNW, so it should be clean. The combined energy is (46). It's surfable, but it's ordinary. This is about as good as it gets.

After that, we fade back into flatness. The following week is a total write-off. From Saturday, September 19th right through to the end of the forecast on Tuesday, September 29th, we see nothing but zeros and tiny blips of swell that are too small and weak to even call surf. There might be a 1 ft bump on the morning of Sunday, September 27th with light offshore winds, but the energy is still very low (29).

Honestly, this is a tough one. For a spot like Alassio that's exposed to the south, we need more juice. With this little swell, the setup is more suited to a paddleboard than a proper surfboard. Let's hope the forecasts change, because this blank run is tough to swallow.

Rusty.
