The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Algajola right now. I gotta be straight with you, it’s pretty grim for the next bit. The water is incredibly warm, sitting at 82°F and it’s a full 7°F above normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a bath out there.
The pattern for the next couple of weeks is basically a whole lot of nothing. We’re looking at a major dry spell for surf. The first few days have zero swell, just flat and clean or with a bit of wind chop. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are a total write-off – tiny, weak dribbles with poor conditions. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are completely flat. There’s a solid gap of no surf to speak of.
Then, on Monday morning the 27th, we finally get a pulse. A little 4ft swell from the west with a short period of 7 seconds pushes through. The combined energy hits 153 (moderate), and the wind is glassy, which is a silver lining. The waves are surfable, but it’s just ordinary. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore wind, so don’t sleep in if you want a chance.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Tuesday the 28th has tiny 2ft waves, and the rest of the week and into the first week of August is just a desert of small, weak, and inconsistent swells. There’s a tiny blip on the 5th of August with a 4ft NNE swell, but with a period of just 5 seconds, it’s going to be a weak, lumpy mess despite the glassy morning. The energy is weak at 76.
Honestly, the only moment that’s even worth a paddle is Monday morning the 27th. It’s still not great, but it’s the standout. The place is inconsistent as it is, and this stretch of poor surf is pretty normal for the area right now. Don’t get your hopes up for anything else.
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.
