The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
Honestly, the entire 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with barely a ripple. Right from the start, it’s quiet. The first morning on Tuesday, September 1st sees a tiny 0.4m bump from the SSE with a short period of 5 seconds. Combined energy is a very weak (7) – basically a lake. That’s the only real attempt at a wave, and even then, it’s labelled as poor surf. Then we go into a massive gap with no meaningful surf for days and days.
The only break in the whole region is Albenga, a river mouth setup that’s inconsistent and tends to be best for beginners. The water’s running at a very unusual 28° – that’s way warmer than normal for the time of year, so if you’re just going for a dip, it’s fine.
Looking through the rest of the period: Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are completely flat, with glassy and clean conditions, which is no use unless you’re learning to paddle. The whole of the first week and into the second is a dead zone. A few days around the 10th of September tease a tiny 0.3m SSE swell with a period of 5 seconds and energy of (5), but the winds are cross-off in the morning, so it’s at least clean. Still gutless.
Later on, around Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th of September, there’s a whisper of a 0.2m ESE swell with a slightly longer period of 6-7 seconds, and a light NNW offshore wind in the mornings. The combined energy is still tiny at (7) and (2). For a river mouth setup, these longer period groundswells can sometimes wrap in, but with this little height, it’s barely a knee-high slosh.
There’s no standout here. Not a single day worth paddling out for. For an area that is inconsistent anyway, this is one of those blank runs we sometimes get. The setup here is so weak that if you’re desperate for wind, the afternoon cross-onshore breeze might make it more interesting for a kite than a paddle. Best to leave the board in the shed and watch the forecast change.
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.
