The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the local scoop. Gotta be honest, this one’s a tough pill to swallow. We’re looking at a real flat spell settling in across the next couple of weeks. The swell window has basically shut down for any decent rideable surf.
We kick off with barely a ripple. Saturday morning the 29th has a tiny 0.3ft SE swell with a short 5-second period, so the combined wave energy is practically nothing (1). It’s clean with a light offshore from the NW, but that’s the only silver lining. It’s a struggle session for even the most dedicated longboarder. By Saturday afternoon, a 2ft SSW swell shows up, but with a cross-onshore ESE breeze, it’s a messy, poor surf situation.
Right through the first week of September, we’re stuck in a rut. There are long stretches – sometimes days at a time – with zero surf on the charts. A few mornings might look glassy or have light offshore winds, like Wednesday the 2nd or Thursday the 3rd, but there’s absolutely no swell to push in. The combined energy numbers are all single digits, and most are just zeroes.
The second week offers no real hope either. There’s a whisper of something around Wednesday the 9th with a 1ft SE swell, but it’s getting chopped up by a moderate cross-shore breeze. The combined energy is a weak 3. There isn’t a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. It’s a real downer, but for this area, a blank run is pretty normal when the weather patterns lock in. We’ll just have to wait for the forecasts to change.
For now, stash the wax and maybe give the kite crew a shout – with some of these onshore breezes and small chop, they might have more fun than the paddle surfers.
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.
