The Lowdown
This is Rusty, and I've got the Albenga outlook.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, slow grind with very little to get excited about. Can be frustrating. The next sixteen days are a write-off for any decent surf. You’ll be waiting over two weeks before anything even remotely rideable might show up, and even that’s a maybe.
Right now, it is flat. We've got no swell at all. Wednesday, the 2nd, through to the middle of the month is just a whole lot of dead ocean. There are a few tiny pulses - the odd 0.7ft or 1ft bump from the south around the 3rd to 5th, but the energy is so weak it's barely a ripple, with combined swell energy only hitting single digits (like 1) - absolutely pathetic.
Best chance across the whole period? Maybe the morning of Tuesday, the 15th, at Albenga (river). We get a tiny 1ft from the southeast at a period of 6 seconds. The wind looks like it will be light and offshore from the NW, which is a bonus for clean conditions, but the combined swell energy is still only 14. The water temp is a stinking 82°F, which is much warmer than normal. For the time of year, that's a seriously weird anomaly – over nine degrees warmer than usual.
But let's be real: 1ft at a short period on a river break is barely a knee-high dribble. It’s not worth paddling out for. Just save the energy.
Albenga (river) is an inconsistent spot anyway, and it can get a crowd sometimes, but with nothing on offer, there won’t be anyone out. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle board right now, to be honest.
So, that's the grim news. No standouts, no winners. It’s a flat spell through and through. Forecasts can change, but this one’s looking pretty locked in for nothing.
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.
