Table - best surf conditions forecast for Algajola over the next 16 days.
Right, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
First up, the water’s weirdly warm for July. At Algajola it’s sitting at 80°, which is a solid 6° warmer than usual for the time of year – that’s a pretty unusual situation, makes it feel like a bath out there.
Now, the truth is, we’re looking at a long, dry spell on the surf front. The entire forecast window is a bit of a bust for any proper surfing. From Sunday the 12th through to Monday the 27th, there’s nothing that even gets close to a rideable wave. Over two weeks of flatness. The swell heights barely make it past 1 ft, and when they do, the period is short and weak – mostly under 8 seconds, with combined swell energy values staying in the low double digits (the highest we see is 22 on Friday the 17th and Wednesday the 22nd, which is still weak energy). Over a dozen days of that. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem. Just poor surf conditions stamped on every single entry.
Algajola itself is an inconsistent beginner break, and the swell direction never really matches the optimum from the southwest in any meaningful way. The wind does go glassy or near-calm a few mornings – Monday the 13th, Wednesday the 15th, Sunday the 19th, Saturday the 25th, and Monday the 27th – but with no swell to work with, it’s just a pretty lake. A few afternoons, like the 22nd, see a moderate cross-shore breeze making things choppy on top of the flatness.
Bottom line: if you’re waiting for a proper wave here, you’re waiting a long time. It’s a blank run that looks normal for an area this inconsistent when the swell window doesn’t fire.
Rusty.

Information about the Algajola Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Algajola provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Algajola can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Algajola 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 (Algajola) 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 Algajola 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.
