The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks holds for us.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim for any decent surf. The first real chance we get is on Sunday, the 9th of August, at Albenga. That's a full week of flat, junk conditions to sit through before we see anything. The spot is a river mouth, which is always inconsistent, and it's a beginner-friendly wave, so it's not going to be a heavy barrel or anything.
On Sunday morning the 9th, we'll finally see a pulse of swell. The swell comes in from the south-west with a height of 4 ft, a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 75. The wind is light and from the north, which is a cross-offshore breeze, so the surface will be clean. That's the one positive. The afternoon goes downhill fast with a strong onshore wind from the east-northeast at 19 mph, which will chop it up. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. The afternoon is a write-off.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, that Sunday morning is the only thing that's even close to worth a paddle. Don't get your hopes up too high. It's a pretty blank run for this area, and that's just how it goes sometimes.
Stay patient. The forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.

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.
