The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
Look, I'm gonna be straight with you – it's a pretty flat outlook for the Albenga area over the next couple of weeks. We've got a long stretch of nothing much happening, and honestly, only one session that's even worth putting on your radar.
The first real chance of a wave doesn't come around until Saturday the 29th of August. Before that, from now through to Friday the 28th, it's a write-off. We're talking tiny, wind-affected slop or just flat calm. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a dip is nice.
Saturday morning the 29th is your best bet, and it's the only real standout. Albenga (a river break) will see a 4ft swell from the Southwest, with a combined energy of 148 (moderate). The real winner here is the wind – it's light offshore from the NW, which should keep things glassy and clean. The period is 6 seconds, so it's a short-period wind swell, meaning it won't have heaps of push, but it'll be rideable. The downside is that it's labelled as "inconsistent" and there's sometimes a crowd, so don't expect a lonely peak. For a beginner, this is the best of a very quiet bunch.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. Sunday the 30th has a tiny 2ft swell, and the rest of the first week of September is just more of the same tiny, weak, and wind-affected conditions. The morning of Monday the 7th of September offers a glassy 1ft set from the SE with a period of 8 seconds, but it's still just knee-high dribble.
Honestly, for the 16-day window, that one morning on the 29th is the only thing to get excited about. Everything else is a pass.

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.
