The Lowdown
Alright lads and lassies, Rusty here with the real talk. We're staring down a 16-day window that starts right now, and for Albenga, it's looking bleak. I'm talking a proper flat spell.
For the first week and a half, from Friday afternoon (11th September) all the way through to about Wednesday morning (17th September), you'll be lucky to see a ripple. There's nothing on offer. The water's running far warmer than usual at 82°, but that's cold comfort with no waves.
The only half-decent chance to get wet appears on Thursday morning, 17th September. Now, Albenga's a river break, and let's be honest, it rarely breaks, so this is a rare event. That morning, we'll see a clean 3ft south swell pushing in. The wind's out of the NNW, a nice cross-offshore breeze that'll keep the faces clean. The energy's weak (89), so it won't have any punch, and with a short period of 6 seconds, it's going to be soft and lumpy. Ideal for a beginner or a longboarder, but not much else.
After that little blip, it's game over. From Thursday afternoon all the way through to the end of the run on Saturday, 26th September, it's flat, flat, flat. A few tiny bumps creep in on the 25th and 26th, but they're blown out by onshore winds.
So, there's no standout session here. The only window is that Thursday morning, 17th September. If you've got a foamie and patience, maybe you'll snag a ride. Otherwise, it's a good time to clean the wax off your boards.
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.
