The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s cut the crap: for the next two weeks, we’re in a drought. There’s a huge gap of flat, glassy mornings and tiny, choppy afternoons from now until mid-August. You’ll be looking at a mirror. The only pulse of real energy shows up on the morning of Sunday, 16 August, and that’s it.
That morning at Albenga – a river mouth – we get a 4ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s short-period wind swell, not the deep stuff. The combined energy of all swells directed here is (145), which is moderate, so there’s some push. The wind is 6 mph from the north, crossing offshore, so the face will be clean. The water temp is a scorching 83°, which is 8° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, you’ll be in boardshorts. This spot is for beginners, but 4ft is getting into the zone where they might want a buddy. The spot is inconsistent, so expect lulls, and crowds are possible. That clean morning is the only standout. The afternoon of the same day drops to 2ft onshore, so don’t wait.
The 17th and 18th? Flat or messy. The 19th and 20th offer nothing. There’s no second option. If you want a wave, the 16th morning is your only shot. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a rough run.
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.
