The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. I've had a long look at what's coming up for Albenga, and I've got to be straight with you – it's a tough outlook. We're looking at a 16-day window, but there's just a tiny flurry of activity in the first few days and then a whole lot of nothing, with a gap from the 23rd of August all the way through to the 28th of August where there's hardly a wave worth mentioning.
The most noteworthy window is right at the start. On the morning of Friday the 21st of August, Albenga (river) will have some swell. We're talking a south-southwest swell of 3ft with a period of 6 seconds. It's a small, short-period swell with weak combined energy (97). The wind is completely glassy though, which is a major positive. It won't be perfect, but that glassy water will make it rideable for a beginner looking for a quiet, clean-ish paddle. The water temperature is 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. Expect it to be possible you'll see a few others out, as crowds are sometimes an issue.
Then on the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August, there's a window. A south-southwest swell of 3ft at 7 seconds with weak energy (72) and a glassy nor-northeast wind. It's surfable, but very ordinary.
After that, the energy drops off a cliff. The only other glimpse of anything is Friday the 28th of August. A south-southwest swell of 4ft at 7 seconds with moderate energy (105) and a clean cross-offshore wind. It builds a bit, but the guidance tells me the surf quality is still poor, so don't get your hopes up.
Honestly, for this stretch, if you're desperate for a wave, the best bet is that Friday the 21st of August morning. It's not a standout by any stretch, but with that glassy wind, it's the least ordinary of a very ordinary run.
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.
