The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you – this is a tough one. The 16-day window is looking lean, real lean. We’ve got a long dry spell on our hands. From the start of the period right through to the 23rd of August, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. That’s a solid two-week gap with no surf to speak of. The water is warm, but without waves, it’s just a swim.
The first real sign of life creeps in on the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August. We’re talking about Albenga (river). Now, this is a spot that’s *inconsistent* at the best of times, so this is a rare glimmer. The morning session will see a tiny 1 ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak 10, so it’s not going to light the world on fire. The wind is light and offshore from the NNW, which will keep it clean. A glassy morning would be a bonus, but the size is pathetic for anyone but a beginner on a longboard.
By the afternoon of the 23rd, the swell holds at 1 ft from the ESE, period 5 seconds, energy nudging up to 11. But the wind swings onshore from the SSE, making it bumpy. Not great.
The next day, Monday the 24th, the morning has a slightly better 2 ft swell from the S, with a 5-second period and 26 energy. Still tiny. The wind is offshore again from the N, so it’s clean. If you’re desperate, this is the best looking window in the whole forecast. The morning of the 25th of August shows a 2 ft swell from the SSW, period of 6 seconds, and energy of 29 – the biggest of the bunch. Wind is offshore from the NNW. It’s the standout, but it’s a very low bar. The water temperature anomaly is 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is very unusual – the water is sitting at 84°F.
Don’t get your hopes up for the afternoon of the 25th, as the wind picks up from the east at 12 mph, making it cross-onshore and choppy, with the swell dropping back to 1.0 ft.
At the end of the day, the only real option is a tiny, inconsistent river wave. If you’re a kiter, the afternoon onshore wind might give you something, but for a surfer, this is a write-off. The forecasts can change, but right now, the best advice is to pick up a different hobby for a fortnight.
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.
