The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, this time with numbers you might be more used to.
Honestly, the outlook is a bummer. We’re looking at a real dry spell for the next couple of weeks.
The first tiny glimmer of hope is on Saturday the 22nd. At Albenga, which is a river mouth, we get a morning pulse of 3ft swell from the SSW. The energy is weak (89). A light offshore breeze from the north will keep the surface clean, but the waves are small and weak. It’s strictly a beginner’s session for a quick paddle. The water is a very unusual 83°, so the wetsuit can stay at home.
Then things go completely flat. Nothing but scraps and tiny, short-period bumps through the end of August into early September. Barely a ripple worth mentioning.
The best chance we get doesn’t roll around until Friday the 4th of September. That morning at Albenga we get another 3ft SSW swell. Still weak energy at (52), but with a light offshore wind from the NNW, it’ll be clean and rideable. The period is short, around 6 seconds, so the waves will be a bit slow and soft, but for this spot in this forecast, it’s the pick of a bad bunch.
So, keep Friday the 4th morning in the back of your mind. It’s the only real window of clean, surfable waves in this whole stretch. After that, it’s back to the waiting game. This kind of flat run happens around here, but it won’t last forever.
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.
