The Lowdown
Righto, grab a coffee, because the next couple of weeks for this neck of the woods is looking pretty slim. We’ve only got one spot to watch: Albenga (Italy). This is a river mouth setup, and it’s inconsistent by nature, so it’s not the kind of place you can just rock up and expect waves.
The forecast kicks off on Saturday the 17th of August with a little pulse. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 83.8°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s over four degrees above average. Strange.
There’s a tiny bit of swell on Monday the 17th morning, only 1.6 ft from the SSW with a weak little 6-second period. Combined swell energy is low, just 17. A light offshore from the NNW will keep the surface clean, but honestly, for a river mouth, this is barely a ripple. No crowd to worry about, but that’s because there’s nothing to ride.
The only time we see anything worth a second look is on Friday the 21st of August, in the morning. Swell pushes up to 4.3 ft from the SSW, with a 6-second period and the combined energy jumps to 139, so there’s a bit more push behind it. More importantly, we’ve got a light offshore NNW breeze cleaning it right up. This is the most promising window in the whole 16-day outlook. It’s still only small-to-average surf, but that clean surface and that bit of energy make it the standout. It’s a beginner-level spot, and this is about as good as it’s going to get. For the afternoon, winds go onshore and it’s messy again.
After that, it’s a long, quiet run. From Saturday the 22nd of August all the way through to the end of the month on the 30th, there’s essentially nothing. The energy drops to zero or near-zero, and the forecasts show poor surf conditions day after day. It’s a proper lull. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run isn’t a surprise.
So, if you’re desperate, the Friday 21st morning is the one to pin your hopes on. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s clean and there’s a little bit of swell. Otherwise, the boards stay in the van.

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.
