The Lowdown
Let’s get this straight. I’ve looked over the next couple of weeks, and the surf here at Albenga is going to be a real test of patience. There’s pretty much nothing on offer for the majority of the forecast.
We start off this Wednesday with flat, glassy conditions. It’s a beautiful morning, but there's nothing for it. That trend holds through the weekend. We’ll see tiny, ankle-biters around 1.5ft to 2ft on Friday and Saturday, but honestly, the energy is so weak it’s hardly worth getting the board wet. The wind is mostly offshore, so it’ll be pretty, but it’s like staring at a pool – a lot of nothing.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday, the 27th. The swell builds a little from the ESE, pushing up to about 4ft, and the energy jumps to moderate (149 in the morning). It’s still a short-period swell, around 6 seconds, which means it could be a bit crumbly and disorganized. The morning looks best with light offshore winds, but the afternoon turns cross-onshore, chopping it up.
Honestly, that’s the only real highlight in the whole window. The week after that just fades back into tiny, weak pulses that won’t offer much more than a dribble. There’s a lot of empty ocean out there.
Don’t get too down about it, though. We know these river-mouth banks can hold a little bit more if the swell angle lines up right away. The forecasts can change. But right now? If you’re desperate, Sunday the 27th morning is your best bet for a few grovelly rides. It won’t be pretty, but it’s something.
Alright, keep the faith.

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.
