The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you. This is Albenga, and it’s a river break that’s exposed to swell from the SSE. The water is sitting at a toasty 84°F with a massive 8°F temp anomaly – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the winter steamer at home.
Right now, and for the next week and a half, the forecast is a total blank. From Tuesday 11 August right through to Sunday 24 August, there’s just nothing doing. We’re looking at days of clean skies and light breezes, but zero swell energy (0). The combined energy of all swells directed here is sitting at zero for most of that stretch. It’s a long, quiet gap – nearly two weeks of flatness.
The first real hint of life shows up on Tuesday 18 August with a tiny 1ft SSW swell, period of 5 seconds, and weak energy of just 8. But it’s still marked as “poor surf conditions,” so don’t bother. The same goes for the following days – a few tiny pulses from the SSW and SSE, but all with short periods (4–6 seconds) and weak energy values (3 to 17). The winds are often cross-offshore or clean, but the swell just isn’t there.
The only standout worth mentioning is on Tuesday 25 August. The morning has a 3ft SSW swell, period 6 seconds, with light offshore NNW wind at 6 mph. It’s the first time we see a score of 1 out of 10, described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The combined energy is 59 – still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. The afternoon turns cross-onshore and choppy with 4ft from the same direction, so grab the morning session if you’re desperate. But honestly, this is more of a novelty than a proper session.
Albenga is inconsistent and rarely breaks, and this forecast shows exactly why. If you’re after a serious paddle, you’re out of luck. For a stretch this long with no real swell, it’s just one of those quiet spells the area gets. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but right now – leave the board in the car.

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.
