The Lowdown
Right, listen up. Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you—the outlook for the next sixteen days is a proper bummer for the Alassio region. The forecast shows the swell is just not going to get its act together, so don't hold your breath.
We've got a real dry spell here. The only period with anything worth even a quick glance is the first day. On Saturday, the 22nd of August, early in the morning, there’s a very small, weak SW swell pushing in at 3 feet with a short period of 7 seconds. The wave energy is low at 82, so it’ll be gutless. The water is a very unusual 83°, which is 8° warmer than average for this time of year. That's proper tropical, but it won't make the waves any better. The wind is a light cross-off, so it will be clean, but honestly, there’s not enough power to do much on a log.
From Saturday afternoon onwards, it's basically flat. There are a few tiny pulses here and there, with the next best little blip being on the morning of Friday the 28th of August with a 2 foot SSW swell (25 energy), but again, it’s just small. Then we go into a long gap of literally nothing until the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. On that Sunday morning, we see a last tiny pulse of 2 foot SE swell with 52 energy, and with the light offshore wind it might be glassy, but it’s tiny.
Because this is an exposed beach setup, the few days with a bit of wind and that tiny swell might look more interesting for a kite surfer than for a paddle surfer, but even that’s a stretch. There's just nothing to get excited about. A blank run like this is fairly normal for the area when the wind and swell don't line up.
Keep the board in the car, but don’t rush to the water. Check back; forecasts can always change, but for now, it’s a total scratch.

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.
