The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our local spot.
Honestly, looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty grim picture for grabbing a wave. We’re looking at a real dry spell with no real swell energy to speak of. There’s a massive gap of surfable conditions staring us in the face. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 82°F, which is way warmer than you’d expect for this time of year, but unfortunately, that doesn't help us with the waves.
For the first week, there’s just nothing doing. We’ve got a few days with tiny bits of energy, but it’s all showing as poor conditions with next to no height. On September 9th, there’s a whisper of a 2ft swell from the SSW with a short period of 4 seconds, and the wind is glassy in the morning—that’s clean, but the energy is barely registering. It's just not enough to get excited about. From the 10th right through to the 21st of September, it’s basically flat with zero energy. The charts keep showing "poor surf conditions." You’d be better off checking the forecast again in a few days.
There is one tiny blip right at the end of the run. On the morning of the 22nd of September, Albenga might see a tiny 0.7ft pulse from the south with a bit of clean, light wind. But with the energy barely there, it’s barely a ripple. It’s a river break and inconsistent at the best of times, and this isn’t one of them.
So, the honest truth? There’s no standout here. Nothing worth paddling out for. For an area like this, a blank run is just part of the deal sometimes. Keep an eye on the charts—things can 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.
