The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you right now: if you’re looking to get wet in the Corsica region over the next couple of weeks, you’re going to be staring at a whole lot of flat, clean water with not a wave to ride. The finder is basically empty for the entire 16-day window. There’s nothing worth paddling out for.
The energy just isn’t there. Combined energy figures are all in the weak range, most of them below 100, with many days showing zero energy at all. You’ll see a small bump on Sunday the 19th of July with a combined energy of 86 (moderate), but even then the swell is a weak 4 ft at 6 seconds from the W – that’s short period, windswell slop, and it’s getting torn up by cross-onshore winds. It’s worth saying this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only break on the list is Algajola. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s inconsistent by nature. You’d need a good SW swell and some offshore wind to get it to work, and we’re not seeing that combo at all. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
There is a stretch from the 23rd to the 25th of July where it’s completely flat, with zero swell. Then a tiny pulse appears on the 25th – 2 ft from the WNW, but the period is only 5 seconds (weak, short period chop) and the winds are cross-offshore in the morning, making it clean but tiny. Not worth the drive.
After that, the 27th of July morning shows a very small 2 ft W swell with a 5-second period and glassy conditions, but with combined energy of just 11 (weak), it’s barely a ripple.
The bottom line: there are no good surf options in the 16-day window. This is a blank run, and for Corsica, that’s not unusual. It tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change, so keep an eye on the charts. But for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
