The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a real stretch of flatness, so let’s get into it.
The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a massive gap of almost no swell to speak of. From the 26th of July right through to the 10th of August, the wave energy is just a whisper. The best we see is a tiny 2ft bump on the 26th, but it’s from the SE with a short period of 5 seconds and a cross-onshore wind. That’s not surf; that’s a messy, choppy lake. The wind turns clean on the morning of the 27th, but the swell is gone by then. The combined energy on that first day is only 18 – that’s weaker than weak.
The water is a balmy 83°, which is a huge 8° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a standout, but it doesn’t help the waves.
For the rest of the run, from the 28th of July onward, the combined energy reads zero or a measly 1 or 2. There are plenty of glassy mornings, but with no swell to speak of, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean. The only break we have to look at is Albenga, a river mouth that’s known to be inconsistent. It’s rated beginner, so even if a tiny ripple came through, it’s not going to be anything to get excited about.
This is a classic example of a blank run for this area. It’s more normal than you’d hope, but forecasts can change. For now, the only thing worth doing is waxing your board and dreaming.
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.
