The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at a pretty barren stretch ahead. The models are showing a whole lot of nothing for the next 16 days. We're talking about a long, dry spell of flatness. The first real chance of even a ripple isn't until Friday the 7th, and even then it's only a tiny 0.7 ft bump from the south. That's weak energy (1) and a short period, so don't expect any shape. The wind will be light, but it's a cross-shore breeze, so the surface won't be pristine.
The only break on the map is Albenga, a river mouth that's rated as inconsistent and for beginners. The water is currently much warmer than normal for this time of year at 84°, about 8° above average, which is very unusual.
Here’s the breakdown: nothing happening from now through Thursday the 6th. Friday the 7th morning, a tiny 0.7 ft south swell shows up, but the period is a short 4 seconds. The energy is barely a whisper at (1). The cross-shore wind won't help. That afternoon, it picks up to a 1 ft south-southeast swell, still a short 4 seconds, but the wind swings cross-onshore, so it's a bit messy. Saturday the 8th goes flat again. Sunday the 9th is flat. Monday the 10th is flat. Tuesday the 11th is flat. Wednesday the 12th is flat. Thursday the 13th is flat. Friday the 14th is flat. Saturday the 15th afternoon, we get a tiny 0.7 ft from the south-southwest, period a paltry 3 seconds (1 energy), with a cross-onshore breeze. Sunday the 16th morning, a 1 ft south swell with a 5-second period (7 energy) and clean cross-offshore wind. That's the best we're going to see, but it's still tiny. Monday the 17th has a glassy morning with a 0.7 ft south swell (1 energy), but the afternoon gets choppy with a 12 mph south wind. After that, it's back to flat for the rest of the forecast.
There are no standouts here. No swell to ride. The whole 16-day window is a bust. For a spot that's already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. The setup is so small and weak that even a kite would struggle to get moving. Don't bother checking the forecast until we see a proper change.
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.
