The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Albenga. This is a river break, and it's inconsistent – it rarely breaks, and when it does, it's just not giving us much to work with over the whole 16-day window. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, there's almost nothing on the table. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, poor conditions starting from now through to the end of August. The first faint glimmer of anything surfable shows up on the morning of Saturday, 29th August. The swell is a tiny 4 ft from the south, with a short period of 6 seconds and weak energy (94). The wind is a light cross-off from the north, so it will be clean, but the waves are described as very ordinary. After that, it drops back to near nothing for days.
The whole outlook is a dry spell. The river is exposed to swell from the SSE, but the energy just isn't arriving. The only real standout – if you can call it that – is that Saturday morning the 29th. It's clean, but tiny and weak. Even then, the north wind is offshore, so the surface will be glassy. The swell is small and short-period, so don't expect much push.
For the rest of the forecast, we're looking at flat spells or junk. The wind shifts around, but the swell is almost always too small to matter. The second week remains a write-off, with no real improvement. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those few days with a bit of breeze.

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.
