The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Albenga area over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a pretty grim picture. Looking through the whole 16-day run, there’s hardly any surf worth getting wet for. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions, with only tiny, weak pulses that won’t do much. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 82°F – that’s over 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is remarkable, but it won’t help the waves.
The first real chance for anything comes up on Wednesday the 9th of September. In the morning, it’s glassy with a light offshore from the NW, and there’s a small 2ft swell from the SW. But the period is only 4 seconds, so it’s all windswell, and the combined energy is weak at just 24. That afternoon the wind swings onshore and picks up, so that window is tight. After that, it’s back to tiny, insignificant bumps – 1ft here, 0.3ft there – with short periods and onshore winds ruining any chance of a clean wave.
Even further out, around Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of September, there’s a whisper of swell, but we’re talking 1ft at best, with periods barely scraping 6 seconds. The energy is next to nothing (1 or 2). It’s just not going to happen.
There are no standout days here, nothing that a surfer would even consider paddling out for. This stretch of flatness is pretty normal for the area when the swell windows don’t line up. For anyone with a kite, the stronger afternoon sea breezes might offer something, but for a surfboard, it’s a blank run.

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.
