The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with you. This stretch at Albenga is mostly a waiting game, with a tiny window of hope way down the line.
The first real chance doesn’t show up until Thursday, September 10th. That morning, a 1.5m swell from the ESE rolls in with a 7-second period and moderate energy of 211. The wind is light and cross-off from the WSW, so the surface should be clean. That’s your best shot for the whole 16 days, but it’s a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit weak and lumpy. Not a classic, but rideable. That afternoon, the swell actually jumps to 1.8m from the SE with stronger energy at 387, but the wind switches cross-on from the ENE, which messes up the surface—marginal at best.
Then Friday, September 11th, the morning gives you a smaller 1.2m swell from the south, 7-second period, but with offshore NW winds. Energy drops to 201, but the wind is good for clean waves. Still short period, so don’t expect much push.
Before that, from now until September 9th, it’s flat. A few tiny bumps—like 0.6m Friday morning, August 28th, or 0.3m Sunday morning, August 30th—but with energy under 30 and poor conditions, they’re not worth the paddle. The river mouth needs a proper swell, and it’s just not there.
Albenga is a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s inconsistent, so this kind of dead run is normal. Water temps are about average for the time of year.
The standout: Thursday morning, September 10th. Clean 1.5m with light winds. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a few. Friday morning, September 11th is a backup, but it’s smaller. Otherwise, hang tight.

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.
