The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for Alassio is as flat as it gets, and it stays that way for a long, long time. We’re talking a massive gap with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The whole window is basically a bust for decent surf, so don’t get your hopes up.
We kick off on Wednesday, the 2nd of September, and honestly, it’s a grim start. Tiny 0.3 ft slop from the west with a short 6-second period and combined energy way down at just (2)—that’s basically nothing. Light cross-offshore winds in the morning keep it clean, but there’s no wave to ride. This flat, weak pattern just drags on day after day.
Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are the same story—flatter than a lake. A bit of offshore wind on Friday morning gives us clean conditions, but with zero swell energy, it’s a total bust. We’re looking at a solid week-plus of this nonsense.
The only faint glimmer in this whole outlook shows up on Friday, the 11th of September. We finally see some pulse of life: around 3 ft of swell coming from the southwest, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy that climbs to (108)—moderate energy for sure. The morning has light cross-offshore winds from the NNW, keeping things reasonably clean. But let’s be real, it’s still a weak, short-period swell at a beach break, and the south swell direction isn’t what this spot loves (optimum is south for Alassio, so it’s okay but not magic). This is the only day that even sniffs “surfable,” but it’s very ordinary. Definitely not a standout. The afternoon turns choppy with a 12 mph cross-onshore wind and the energy drops off.
After that, we slide right back into the abyss. The rest of the second week is full of days with 0.3 ft to 1 ft dribble, minimal energy, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes. Saturday the 12th has a glassy morning, but the swell is 0.7 ft—you’d need a magnifying glass to see it. By the time we get to the 17th of September, it’s still the same story: flat, weak, and uninspiring.
This is a classic “don’t bother” forecast for Alassio. The water temp is running far warmer than normal at 82°F, which is over 9° different from average for this time of year—very unusual—but it doesn’t help the waves one bit. There’s nothing here to chase.

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.
