The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a real struggle. We're looking at a long, dry spell.
First up, the only spot that even gets a mention is Albenga, a river mouth. It's inconsistent and best for beginners. Right now, the water is a toasty 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath.
For the next week, there's just nothing doing. Day after day of flat, small, or blown-out conditions. The swell is tiny, period is short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross. You'll be chasing ripples. There's a glimmer on Saturday the 29th of August, with a morning window showing a 3ft swell from the SSW, with a 7-second period and light offshore winds. The combined energy is weak (72), but it's the cleanest thing we'll see. It's surfable, but very ordinary.
Apart from that, the rest of the forecast is a dust bowl. We're talking about a gap of several days with no real recommendations. The swell disappears, and the wind gets messy. By the time we hit September, there's a hint of a 2ft to 2ft pulse from the south on the 1st, but it's weak and the wind isn't great.
Honestly, for the full 16 days, there's no standout. The best bet is that Saturday morning on the 29th, but don't expect much. It's one of those periods where the forecast can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, it's a wait-and-see game.
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.
