The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk surf. This stretch is looking flat. We’ve got 16 days ahead, but it’s a quiet run. The first real surf doesn’t show up until Monday morning, August 5th, and even then, it’s tiny. After that, there are days with nothing, so you’re not missing much.
The only spot in the game is Albenga, a river mouth that’s beginner-friendly but inconsistent. It rarely breaks, and this stretch is no exception. The water’s running at 82°F, which is a good 7°F warmer than normal – that’s very unusual, feels like a hot tub.
Let’s look at the best of a quiet bunch. The first real chance comes Monday morning, August 5th: a tiny 1ft bump from the SSE, with a short period of 4 seconds. The wind is offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, so the surface will be clean. That’s about as good as it gets, but only just. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore, so the morning window is your only shot.
The next morning, Tuesday, August 6th, is glassy with a light NNE breeze at 3 mph. There’s a 0.3ft, 8-second swell from the south – again, minimal energy. It’s clean but tiny.
Wednesday, August 7th, the morning is clean again with a cross-offshore NNE wind at 6 mph, but the swell is still a paltry 1ft from the south, period 5 seconds. Not worth paddling out for.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Thursday, August 13th. The wind is light offshore from the NW at 3 mph, making for a clean surface. The swell is 1ft from the south, period 5 seconds. Still tiny, but it’s the cleanest, most consistent morning in the whole run.
The rest of the period is a write-off. Afternoon winds are generally onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface bumpy or choppy. The swell rarely breaks 1ft, and the period is always short – under 8 seconds. There’s a long gap from the 14th to the 16th with nothing, then a few more tiny, clean mornings on the 16th and 17th with glassy conditions but zero swell.
Honestly, for a river mouth that’s inconsistent, this is a pretty normal blank run. The forecasts can shift, but right now, there’s nothing to chase. If you’re desperate, the morning of August 13th is your best bet – just don’t expect much. The setup is so small and weak that it’s more of a paddle than a surf.

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.
