The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one to call. The forecast for the next 16 days is a real struggle, with no real surf to speak of for most of the run. We’ve got a long, dry gap with nothing worth getting wet for, so don't be in a rush to wax up.
The first glimmer of anything rideable comes on the morning of Sunday, 26th July. Albenga (Italy) sees a tiny pulse of swell, 2ft from the SE. The period is short at 5 seconds, so it’s not going to have much punch. The combined energy is weak (20), so you’re looking at soft, small waves. The morning starts with a light offshore wind from the NW, which will keep the surface clean. Water temp is a very warm 84°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the wetsuit at home. The afternoon turns glassy with a risk of thunderstorms, and the swell shifts slightly to the south at 2ft with a 6-second period, energy still low (35). It’s still poor surf conditions, but this is the best we’ve got.
Monday morning, 27th July, offers a tiny 1ft swell from the SE with a longer 9-second period, giving it a bit more shape but still barely any energy (18). It’s glassy early with a light NW wind, so the surface will be clean. Again, it’s poor surf, but if you’re desperate for a foam climb, this is your window.
After that, it’s back to nothing. From Tuesday, 28th July, right through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday, 5th August, the swell dries up completely. There are days of flat calm, with only a few tiny 0.3ft blips that are barely a ripple. The water remains warm, but there’s simply no wave energy to work with. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the region. Keep an eye on the forecasts, things can change.

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.
