The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. The 16-day window for Albenga starts now and, honestly, there’s barely a whisper of surf to get excited about. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with almost nothing on offer.
The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s the only thing that’s out of the ordinary, and it’s not much comfort when there are no waves to ride.
From Friday morning, 7 August, right through to the afternoon of Saturday, 22 August, the forecast is essentially a write-off for surf. The small bits of swell that do show up are tiny – we’re talking 0.7 ft to 1 ft from the S or SE, with a short, weak period of just 4 seconds. The combined energy is pitiful, barely reaching 7 (7) at its best, which is about as weak as it gets. Most days, the energy is a flat zero (0). The wind is all over the place, but even when it’s glassy or light offshore, there’s no swell to work with.
Albenga itself is a river mouth break, which is inconsistent at the best of times. It’s rated for beginners, but with no swell, that doesn’t matter. The only real highlight is a tiny window on Tuesday morning, 18 August, and Wednesday morning, 19 August, where we get a 0.3 ft SE swell with light offshore winds. That’s still near-flat and hardly worth a paddle.
The best of a bad bunch? There isn’t one. This is a blank run. It’s a bit of a bummer, but for this area, it’s not unusual. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, I’d say leave the boards at home.
Rusty.

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.
