The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next sixteen days are looking pretty grim for a paddle around here. The swell window is just not cooperating, and we’re looking at a whole lot of flat, clean conditions with nothing to surf. The first record of any surf isn't until the 20th of July, and even then, it's a tease.
We kick off Monday the 20th with a tiny pulse, but it's so weak it's barely a bump. The combined energy is a measly 5, and the swell direction from the SSW is not the optimum SSE for Albenga. The river mouth setup is inconsistent at the best of times, and with a 1ft to 1ft swell and a period of only 4 to 5 seconds, it's just not going to offer any shape. The water is a staggering 83°, which is *far warmer than normal* for this time of year, but that's about the only noteworthy thing.
The pattern continues through the rest of July and into the first week of August. There are long gaps of several days with zero surf recommendations at all. We get a few more microscopic pulses – a 0.7ft swell on the morning of the 28th, a 0.3ft glassy bump on the morning of the 30th – but the combined energy is in the single digits (1 or 2), and the period is short. The wind is often light and cross-offshore or glassy, which would be perfect if there was any wave to ride. It's a heartbreakingly clean window with no swell.
The only faint glimmer of something comes on the 31st of July. The morning sees a 1ft SSW swell with a 6-second period and a combined energy of 8, with a clean cross-offshore wind. The afternoon bumps up to 1ft and a combined energy of 13, but the wind switches to a cross-onshore, making it choppy. This is still a long way from a surfable wave for this spot.
Saturday the 1st of August is probably the best of a very poor bunch. The morning has a clean 2ft swell from the S with a 5-second period and a combined energy of 13. The wind is light and cross-offshore. It's small, weak, and inconsistent, but it's the only time the combined energy creeps into double digits. The afternoon though, the wind goes onshore. Finally, on Tuesday the 4th of August, the afternoon brings a 2ft SSW swell with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 30, the highest in the whole forecast. The wind is light and onshore, so it's not clean, but it's the biggest push of energy we see.
Look, for a spot that's already inconsistent, this is a normal blank run. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing here worth paddling out for. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those rare afternoons with a bit of wind and a bump.
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.
