The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s looking pretty grim.
We’re starting off with a long, dry spell. From now until the 8th of September, there’s simply nothing to ride. The ocean is flat and glassy at times, but with no energy to speak of. That’s a few days of no surf at all.
Things don’t get much better after that. The first real chance of a wave comes on the morning of Wednesday the 10th of September, but it’s a sad little thing. We’re looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW, with a period of only 3 seconds. That’s pure windswell, no power in it. The combined energy is a measly 3 (weak). The wind is light and cross from the SW, so the surface might be okay, but the wave itself is just a bump. Not worth paddling out for.
The rest of the week is more of the same: tiny, weak waves and poor surf conditions. A few days see a little pulse of 2ft from the SE on the morning of the 11th, but it’s still a short period (5 seconds) and the energy is only 13 (weak). The wind is cross-off from the NNE, so it’s clean, but you’ll be struggling to get a ride.
Right through to the 21st of September, every single session is rated as “poor surf conditions.” The largest swell we see is a pathetic 2ft, and the longest period is 8 seconds, which is still short-period stuff. The combined energy never gets above 13 (weak). There’s no standout day, no window of opportunity, nothing.
Alassio is the only break on the list, and it’s an exposed southerly spot. The problem is, the swell is just too small and weak to do anything with. The wind is often cross-off or light, which would be great if there was any swell, but there isn’t. For a beginner, the water is probably about average for the time of year.
If you’re a kitesurfer, you might get a bit of a breeze on some of the windier afternoons, but for a paddle surfer, this is a complete blank. It’s one of those spells where the forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
