Table - best surf conditions forecast for Albenga over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's get real about Albenga. It’s a river mouth setup, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times. The next 16 days look more like a flat spell than a surf forecast, I’m not gonna lie to you.
We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing. From now until the 21st of July, there’s barely a ripple. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 80°, which is a solid 8° warmer than normal for this time of year—feels more like a bath than the Mediterranean. The swell energy is almost non-existent, peaking at a measly combined energy of 17 (weak) on the afternoon of the 12th, with a tiny 2ft SE swell riding a short 5-second period. That’s not surf, that’s a lake ripple. The wind is light and sometimes glassy, but there’s simply no wave to work with.
Out of the whole 16-day window, the only flicker of hope comes right at the tail end. On the morning of Monday, the 27th of July, we might see a tiny bump. The SSW swell pushes to 2ft with a 5-second period, and the combined energy just creeps up to 21 (still weak). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, which would keep the surface clean. But even then, it’s a poor surf conditions call. For a river mouth that’s already inconsistent, this is a tough run. If you’re a beginner looking for a completely flat-water paddle, maybe. For surfing? Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session, with the onshore winds later in the day.
Hang tight, mate. It’s a blank run, and that’s pretty normal for this area when the swell windows don’t line up. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t bother waxing up.

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.
