The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the surf situation on the Ligurian coast, specifically at Albenga.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. We've got a solid 14-day stretch where there's almost nothing worth paddling out for. The swell energy is virtually non-existent, with combined energy readings stuck at zero for days on end. There's a tiny pulse on the morning of the 28th of September that’s surfable, but it's nothing to get excited about.
The first real, albeit weak, sign of life shows up on the morning of the 16th of September. You’ll see a tiny 1.0ft swell from the SW with a period of only 3 seconds. The combined energy is a pathetic 1, so there’s just no power in the water. The wind is off from the NNW at 3 mph, which keeps it clean, but the wave size and period mean it's barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so don't expect any surprises there.
We get a slightly better pulse on the morning of the 17th of September. Swell bumps up to 1ft from the S, period is 4 seconds, and the combined energy is still weak at 5. Again, NNW winds at 3 mph keep it cross-off and clean, but it's still a beginner-level ankle-snapper.
The closest we get to a window is the morning of the 28th of September. Swell hits 3ft from the SE with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 62, which is still weak but it's the most we’ve seen. The wind is off from the WNW at 3 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It's surfable, but the conditions are still very ordinary. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore from the S at 12 mph, turning it into a choppy mess. This is the only real option, but for a river break like Albenga, this small, short-period swell isn't going to produce anything special. It’s a spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times, so this blank run is a bit more normal for the area. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it doesn't tend to stay this poor for long.
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.
