The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Alassio over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at this forecast and my heart's a bit heavy. We've got a real long dry spell ahead. For the next 16 days, there's barely a ripple worth mentioning. The first good chance to paddle out doesn't even show up until Friday the 28th of August, and even then, it's a pretty marginal affair.
We're looking at a gap of nearly four days from the start of the forecast with no real surf on offer. The water is a balmy 82.0°F, which is a massive 7.2°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, making for a warm, soupy bath, but unfortunately, not much else.
The only day that might get your hopes up is Friday morning, the 28th of August. Alassio will see a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the SE, with a short period of 5 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the WSW, which is a major positive, so it should be clean. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting at only (41). It's a beginner-friendly size, but the swell is inconsistent, so you'll be waiting around for the odd knee-high wave. It's surfable, but it's ordinary.
After that little tease, it's back to nothing. We get a tiny bump on the 29th of August (Saturday morning) with a 3ft SSW swell and a 7-second period, with clean conditions from a NNW breeze. The combined energy is still weak at (70). It's the biggest swell of the whole stretch, but it's still small, and it's barely a blip.
Then the rest of the 16 days? Dead. From the 30th of August right through to the 8th of September, it's flat. There are a few glassy mornings at the start of September, but no swell to go with them. It's a long, flat run for Alassio, and this is just one of those times where the ocean has gone to sleep. Don't hang your wettie up just yet, though – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Stay patient, you lot.

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.
