Table - best surf conditions forecast for Algajola over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for the Algajola region over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch. Don’t get your hopes up for much paddling action for a long while.
We’re starting off with a real dry spell. From Friday the 10th all the way through to the morning of Monday the 21st of July, there’s basically nothing worth mentioning. That’s a solid ten-plus days of flat, weak, or just messy conditions. There might be a ripple here or there, but nothing that’ll get you out of bed. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, things finally start to flicker to life on Tuesday the 21st of July. We’ve got a bit of a pulse coming in. On Tuesday morning at Algajola, we’re looking at a clean little combo with a cross-offshore breeze and a 5ft swell out of the west. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, nothing with huge grunt, but it’s rideable. The combined swell energy is sitting at 230 (moderate energy), so there’s some push. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only game in town. The wind is light and clean, which is a big positive – that glassy morning will make even small waves fun.
Wednesday the 22nd of July morning shapes up similarly. Another clean session with a 4ft west swell, 7-second period, and a nice cross-off breeze from the ENE. Energy drops a bit to 131, but it’s still surfable. After that, the wind gets chunky and the swell fades, so don’t expect much for the rest of the week.
Honestly, the best on offer is that Tuesday morning the 21st of July. It’s not pumping, but when the window’s been that empty, a clean 5ft west swell with light wind feels like a gift. Crowds are rare here, so you’ll have plenty of room.
That’s what we’ve got. A long wait, then a short window. Get it while you can.
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.
Algajola is 9 km (6 miles) from Calvi. If you plan a holiday in Corsica, look for hotels and other accommodation in Calvi. Calvi has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
