The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about Albenga: this is a tough forecast. We're staring down a long 16-day window, and honestly, there's not a single session that I'd get excited about paddling out for. The swell just isn't showing up. We’ve got a river mouth break that’s incredibly inconsistent, and for the foreseeable future, it's living up to its reputation.
The first few days are flat out. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th offer nothing but tiny dribbles of sea breeze slop. We're talking wave energy so weak it's barely registering at a value of 1 to 17. Not worth waxing the board.
Then we roll into a real dry spell. From Monday the 28th of July all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 6th of August, the ocean is practically a lake. That's over a week with absolutely no surf on offer. There are periods of glassy conditions, particularly on the mornings of the 30th, 31st, and 1st of August, which would be beautiful for a swim, but not a single wave to ride.
Things try to poke their head up on Thursday the 6th of August. We get a small pulse of swell from the south at about 2ft, with a weak period of 5 seconds. The wave energy is still pathetic, only hitting 21. The morning has a glassy wind, so it would be clean, but that swell is just too weak and short-period to do anything with a river mouth. That little hiccup fades fast, and the last few days of the forecast drop right back off to zero energy again.
The best of a bad bunch is that Thursday the 6th of August morning. If you were absolutely desperate to get wet, you might find a knee-high ripple. But honestly, with such an inconsistent break and no proper swell, even that’s a stretch. The good news? This area tends to not stay flat for this long, and forecasts can change. But for now, leave the board at home.

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.
