G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Albenga, and it’s a rough one. For the next 16 days, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Not a single good session. The whole run is flat or close to it. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, just a lot of tiny, weak swell.
Starting Monday, 6 July, we see a 1ft swell from the south with a 4-second period, combined energy of just 3 — that’s pathetic. The wind’s blowing cross-on from the south at 6 mph, so it’s choppy and small. Tuesday, 7 July, it drops to less than 1ft, though there’s a glassy morning with a light north-northwest breeze — but no swell to surf, so it’s just a flat, nice-looking ocean. This keeps up every day. There are stretches, like Wednesday, 15 July, and Thursday, 16 July, where the swell height disappears entirely. For 13 or 14 days straight, you’re looking at energy readings under 10, often zero. For a river break that’s already inconsistent, this dry spell is pretty normal — it’s just how Albenga goes when the swell windows shut.
Water temp on 6 July is 78°, which is 6° warmer than usual for this time of year — much warmer than normal, so a swim is fine. But for surfing? Forget it. Even the few days that show a bump, like Sunday, 19 July, with 2ft to 2ft from the south-southwest at a 5-second period, combined energy up to 29 — that’s still too weak. The winds are cross-off in the morning but go cross-onshore or onshore in the afternoon. The period is so short (5 seconds) there’s no power, no shape.
If you’re hanging on hope, the morning of 20 July shows glassy 1ft from the SSE with a 5-second period — that’s not surf, that’s a ripple. For an exposed river mouth, short-period swell like that won’t stand up.
Albenga’s a beginner-friendly river break that needs a solid SSE or S groundswell to work. The optimum direction is SSE, but the few pulses we get are weak and short-period. Could get crowded if it ever got good, but it doesn’t.
So, plain and simple: don’t bother. Stay home, wax your board for another day. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a flat spell. Rusty out.

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.
