The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here, and I’m looking at what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks around here. Honestly, I'd love to tell you we're in for a ripper, but the outlook is flat and pretty darn bleak. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. There’s no real swell on the cards, and we’re looking at a dry spell that’s going to last a good while.
The first glimmer of anything that might get you wet isn’t until Saturday the 29th of August, and even then, it’s a real struggle. Alassio is the only spot in the game, but the swell is tiny and the quality is ordinary. The water is running a very warm 82°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year – feels more like a bath than the ocean.
We’ve got a long gap of nothing from Saturday afternoon on the 30th of August all the way through to Thursday the 10th of September. That’s a proper flat spell with barely a ripple.
Let’s break down the few moments that might see a splash. Saturday morning the 29th of August offers the most size of the entire run: 3 ft from the SSW with a period of 6 seconds. Combined energy is a weak 59, so it lacks punch. The NNE wind is cross-off, which keeps it clean, but the waves are described as surfable but ordinary. That’s about the best we get, which isn't saying much. It’s a spot that can be inconsistent, which fits with this.
Tuesday the 8th of September morning brings a slight pulse, with 2 ft from the SSW and a 6-second period (energy of 44). The north wind keeps the morning session clean, giving us some small, weak surfable waves. It’s still nothing to write home about.
Later on, Friday the 11th of September morning offers a similar deal, with 3 ft from the SSW. The energy is a bit more at 62, but it’s a short-period swell so it’ll be fat. Winds are light and cross-off, so it should be clean, but it’s small and weak.
To be blunt, nothing here is a standout. There is no quality swell, no good period, and no windows where the swell and wind line up properly. The conditions are just too flat. For a beach break, this level of weak energy and small swell is honestly more suited to a kite than a paddle. The outlook here stays flat and uninspiring for the whole 16-day window.
Stay patient, and keep the wax dry. This one’s a write-off.

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.
