Alright, Rusty here, let's chew the fat on what’s heading our way in the Albenga area. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: we are looking at a big fat zero to start. From Sunday afternoon onward, through the start of July, it's flat. Absolutely flat. The water is running a warm 78°, which is nearly 7° above the norm – that’s a real oddball for this time of year. But with the combined swell energy showing zero and “poor surf conditions” everywhere you look, there’s nothing to push a wave.
Throughout that first week, we get flickers of tiny, weak windswell, but nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The periods are short, 4 seconds tops, so no real shape or push behind them. The biggest we see in the entire 16-day run is a measly 2ft on Sunday, July 12th, coming from the ESE with a cross-onshore wind from the ENE. The combined energy is only 19, so it's weak. The morning of Monday, July 14th, offers a moment of glassy water with a 0.3ft ripple from the S, but you’ll be sitting on your board for nothing.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of Friday, July 17th, is the pick of a bad bunch. We’ve got a 2ft SE swell, 5-second period, with a clean offshore wind out of the WNW. The combined energy is 14. The offshore breeze will keep it looking tidy, but it's still tiny. For a break like Albenga, which is an inconsistent river mouth, we’re just not getting any love.
After that, it's back to tiny cross-off slop through the weekend and into the following Monday. Nothing gets over the 1ft mark. Truth is, the second half of the forecast is just as dead.
With swell this small and the wind patterns the way they are, a kite might get some fun out of this setup more than a paddle board. But for a surfboard, I’d be hanging it up for a good while.
Rusty, out.

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.
