The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Algajola over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch. The forecast is mostly flat or offering tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. For the first week, from the 3rd of August right through the 6th, the swell is either non-existent or barely a ripple. You’re looking at a combined energy of zero or just single digits, which is about as weak as it gets. The water is a balmy 82°, a full 6° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual.
Things try to wake up a little on the morning of Friday, the 7th. We get a 4ft swell from the west with a short 7-second period, and the combined energy reaches a moderate 111. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the south, keeping it clean. It’s surfable, but nothing to get too excited about. The afternoon on the 7th actually jumps up to 5ft from the west with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 496, but the wind swings hard to the west-southwest at 12 mph, creating a messy cross-shore chop. That’s more of a kite session than a paddle session.
Saturday morning, the 8th, is a repeat of the Friday morning: 4ft west swell, clean cross-off wind, but with a short period and only moderate energy (131). It’s your best bet for a small, clean wave, but the quality is ordinary. The swell drops off hard after that, with tiny, short-period leftovers and mostly glassy mornings. The whole second week, from the 10th of August onwards, is a desert. We see a few pulses of 4ft and 5ft on the afternoon of the 15th and 16th, but they are coming from the northeast with a very short period and are accompanied by cross-on or onshore wind, making them a mess. The combined energy on those days is moderate (138 and 57) but the conditions are just poor.
The only spot worth mentioning is Algajola itself. It’s a beginner-friendly, inconsistent spot that rarely produces. The best you’ll get is the Friday and Saturday mornings of the 7th and 8th for a small, clean wave. Don’t expect much 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.
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.
