The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening for the next 16 days. I’ll be straight with you – it’s not looking pretty.
We’re staring down a long, dry spell. For the first week, from the 1st of August right through to the morning of the 8th, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The energy is flat, with the combined swell energy sitting at a pathetic 7, or less. You’ll see a lot of zeros in there. The swell is tiny, measured in fractions of a foot, and the periods are short, mostly around 4 to 5 seconds. That’s just wind slop, not real surf. The winds are a mixed bag of cross-off and onshore, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no wave to ride.
Then, from the 9th of August, we start to see a little pulse of life, but it’s still weak. The best of a bad bunch shows up on the morning of the 10th of August. We’ve got a tiny 2 ft swell from the South, with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy finally climbs to a weak 21. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE, which is good. Alassio is the only spot on the menu, and it’s an exposed beach break that’s inconsistent and best for beginners. This is really a consolation prize, not a standout.
The 14th and 15th of August see the swell nudge up a bit, with 2 ft to 2 ft swells from the South, and the energy reaching 23 and 29 respectively. The mornings look clean with cross-off winds, but the swell is still too small to get excited about. The water temperature is a very unusual 82°, which is 7° warmer than normal for the time of year – feels like a bath.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. If you’re desperate, the morning of the 10th or the 15th of August are your best shots, but keep your expectations low. The conditions are more suited to a swim than a surf.
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.
