Table - best surf conditions forecast for Alassio over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good, hard look at what Alassio has to offer over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty bleak. The finder is basically telling me there's nothing worth paddling out for, and the guidance confirms it: this is a beginner spot that's inconsistent. It's one of those stretches where a blank run is actually more normal than not for this area. We're talking a solid gap of no real surf from the start all the way through.
Tuesday, 20 August – Thursday, 22 August
Alright, if we're scraping the bottom of the barrel, Thursday morning the 20th is the only time the swell even wakes up. We've got a weak 4ft of SW swell rolling in, but the period is a short 5 seconds, so it's going to be gutless. The combined energy is a measly (82), which is barely a pulse. The one saving grace is the wind: it's glassy. But honestly, it's still just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It's a nothing-burger. Friday morning the 21st is even smaller at 3ft from the S with a 6-second period and glassy conditions again, but the energy is a pathetic (39). Saturday the 22nd has a 2ft SSW swell with 6-second period and clean cross-off winds in the morning, but again, it's a total dud.
The Rest of the Run
After that little blip, it's a complete desert. From Saturday afternoon the 22nd right through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday the 2nd of September, we're talking about waves so small they barely register – if they register at all. Swell heights are a joke, mostly 0.7ft to 1ft, with combined energy values in the single digits. There are even days where the swell flatlines to zero. The winds are clean enough at times, but there's simply no energy to work with. This is one of those times where the beach setup looks more interesting for a paddle on a flat board than for surfing.
Hang in there, folks. Forecasts can change. But for now, it's a hard pass.

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.
