The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this stretch of the Ligurian coast is in a bit of a flat spell. The first surfable waves don’t turn up until late in the game, and even then, it’s not much to write home about. We’re looking at a long dry patch for the most part, with a few little pulses that might get a beginner’s heart beating, but nothing for the hungry surfer.
The opening days are a total write-off. From Sunday the 19th through to the morning of Monday the 27th, it’s either flat or offering tiny, weak slop that’s not worth paddling out for. The swell heights barely reach 2 ft, and the periods are short—under 6 seconds—so it’s all windswill with no push. The combined energy is pitiful, with values mostly under 10. The wind is a mixed bag, but even when it’s clean, there’s just no swell to work with. The water temperature is sitting at 83°F, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year—a real anomaly that’s more than 9°F above average, which is very unusual.
Then, on Tuesday the 28th, we get a bit of a spike. The morning brings a 5 ft SE swell with a 7-second period. The combined energy jumps to 234 (moderate wave energy), and with a clean cross-off wind from the NNE at 16 mph, it’s the best window in the whole 16-day forecast. Now, this is still a small, short-period swell, so it’s not going to be a classic, but it’s the only day where you’ll find something to ride. The break, *Albenga* (a river mouth), is inconsistent, so don’t expect a wave every minute. It’s also a beginner-friendly spot, so if you’re learning, this is your moment. The swell direction is from the SE, which matches the optimum direction of SSE reasonably well, so it should wrap in okay. The Tuesday afternoon drops off a bit—3 ft, period 6 seconds, energy 137—and the wind swings cross-onshore, making it choppy.
After that, we tail off again. Wednesday the 29th through to the end of the forecast on Monday the 3rd of August, the swell fades back to tiny 0.3 ft to 1 ft dribbles with low energy (values under 30). The wind is often clean or glassy, but there’s no muscle in the waves. It’s a real blank run for the area, which is a bit unusual, but these things happen.
So, the standout is Tuesday the 28th, morning session at Albenga, if you’re desperate for a paddle. It’s not going to light up anyone’s world, but it’s the only real surf on offer.
Rusty.

Information about the Albenga Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Albenga provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Albenga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Albenga 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 (Albenga) 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 Albenga 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.
