Alright, let’s get real about Albenga. Over the next 16 days, we are looking at a total flat spell. Not a single good surf day in the whole window. Every single report says poor surf conditions. There’s no way around it.
From July 2nd all the way through to the 17th, it’s dead. There are a couple of tiny blips on the 8th and the 16th—a 0.2m wave at 4 seconds and a 0.3m wave at 2 seconds—but those are just ripples. The combined swell energy is a 1 (one), which is completely useless.
The only break in the area is Albenga, a river mouth that’s inconsistent and built for beginners. But even a beginner isn’t getting a wave here. The water is 81°F, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year—over 9°F above the norm. That’s very unusual, but it doesn’t put any swell in the water.
Mornings are often clean or glassy with light offshore breezes from the north, and afternoons get light onshores from the south, but without any swell, clean conditions mean nothing. There’s simply no surf.
For this area, a complete blank patch like this is more normal than you’d like. It won’t stay this way forever, and forecasts can change, but right now there’s zero reason to paddle out. Not for anyone.

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.
