The Lowdown
Alright, let's break down the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be honest from the start – it’s pretty quiet. The first real chance to get wet doesn't pop up until Thursday the 17th, so you’re looking at almost a week of flatness before anything shows.
The only spot in the game is Albenga, a river-mouth wave that doesn’t break all that often. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, which is fine because the swell never really gets above knee-high.
That first little window is on Thursday the 17th during the morning. We’re looking at a 3ft swell from the SSW, with a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s weak and lacks punch. The combined energy is only 79, so it’s weak. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, which will keep it clean. It’s surfable, but pretty ordinary. Crowds can show up here, but with waves this small, it won’t be packed.
Next up is Monday the 21st. The morning has 2ft from the SE with a 6-second period and light cross-off wind, so clean but tiny. The afternoon gets a little more push at 3ft from the same direction, but the wind goes onshore from the ESE, making it a bit bumpy. Energy hits 50.
Looking into the following week, Tuesday the 22nd morning is about the best you’ll get. We see 3ft from the SE with a 7-second period, and the energy finally gets into a moderate 104. The key is the wind: it’s glassy with a light cross-off breeze from the NNW. That’s as clean as it gets here. The water temp is a very unusual 82°, way warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath.
Wednesday the 24th morning also has a similar deal: 3ft from the ESE, 7-second period, clean offshore wind from the NNW, and moderate energy at 108. It’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast, but still well under 5ft, so it’s fine for everyone. The afternoon wind swings onshore again, so the mornings are definitely the play.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The river wave needs more size and a longer period to really work, and we just don’t get that. The second week has a couple of clean mornings with tiny, weak waves, but nothing to write home about. If you’re itching for a session, aim for the morning of the 22nd or 24th of September.

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.
