The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty flat and quiet picture for the Albenga area. We’ve got a long stretch ahead where you might want to leave the board in the car and take a few more walks on the beach.
The first real chance of anything resembling a wave shows up on Sunday morning, August 2nd. We’re talking tiny, ankle-biters at Albenga (Albenga). The swell is coming from the SSW at 1ft with a short, weak 5-second period. The energy is pretty much non-existent, coming in at just 5. But the wind is light and offshore from the NE, so the surface will be clean. It’s a river break, so it's already inconsistent, and with waves this small, it’s really only for the absolute beginner or someone just wanting to get wet. The water temp is a very warm 82°F, which is a huge 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real standout, even if the surf isn't.
The next few days follow the same pattern. We have a mix of tiny, weak pulses from the SE and S, but nothing with any push. Tuesday morning, August 4th, will be clean with a cross-offshore breeze and a 1ft swell from the SE, but the period is a weak 4 seconds. The energy is next to nothing at 4. Don't get excited.
Honestly, for the first week, the only time you might find a slightly rideable wave is around Tuesday afternoon, August 11th. There’s a 2ft swell from the E with a 4-second period and a combined energy of 13, with a light cross-onshore wind. It’s still poor, but it's the biggest of the run. You might find a close-out or two on a longboard.
There’s a gap of almost no surf from the 13th through the 16th. Completely flat. If you've got a kite, the conditions on the 15th and 16th with the moderate cross-offshore winds might be more your thing, but for paddle surfing, there is nothing.
The final day of the forecast, Monday, August 17th, shows a morning with a clean 1ft from the SE, but the afternoon turns messy with a moderate cross-onshore wind. It just doesn't seem to be in the cards.
In short, this is a period for re-stretching your wetsuit and working on your tan. The swell window is just not opening for us. It's a good time to remember that in this region, when it gets flat, it can stay that way for a while, but forecasts can always change. Keep an eye out, but don't hold your breath.
Stay stoked,
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.
