The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at what's on the menu for the Alassio region over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, long gap of nothing but tiny, weak waves or flatness. The water's sitting at a very warm 82°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it feels like a bath out there.
The bulk of the forecast is a write-off. From now through the 28th of August, we're dealing with ankle-snappers, mostly under 2 ft, with swell energy barely registering. The winds are usually onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. There's a long stretch of days where it's just not worth paddling out.
Then, on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August, we get a flash in the pan. The morning session looks like the only real window of opportunity in the entire 16 days. A clean, glassy 6 ft SSW swell is forecast to push through, with a period of 6 seconds and a moderate energy reading of 414. It's a short-period swell, so it'll be a bit soft and lumpy, but with glassy conditions, it'll be surfable. This is a standout simply because everything else is so poor. The wind goes onshore by the afternoon though, so don't sleep in.
After that 29th morning window, it's back to the doldrums. From the 30th of August right through to the 9th of September, it's a desert of tiny waves, mostly under 2 ft, with very low energy. The winds are a mix of cross-off, glass, and onshore, but with no swell, it doesn't matter. It's a long, flat spell, and Alassio is an exposed beach setup, so it tends to need a bit more push to get going. When the swell is this weak, it's more of a kite-foiling or beach day than a surf day. For now, that Saturday morning is your only shot.
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.
