The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with ya. The run-up is a long, flat, sleepy stretch of nothing. Algajola’s looking at a real dry spell for the next couple of weeks. Water temps are sitting around 82°F which is much warmer than the long-term norm for this time of year, so you’ve already got that warm bath feel, but there’s no energy to work with.
From Monday the 20th of July right through to the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August, it’s all poor surf conditions. Tiny ripples, weak windswell, and a lot of days with zero to three-foot mush. The combined energy stays in the low double or single digits – a measly 12 at best early on, and often just 1. Nothing to paddle for.
Wednesday the 22nd of July morning goes glassy but there’s barely a bump. By Friday the 24th of July morning, we get a tiny 2ft west swell at 6 seconds with 28 combined energy and clean conditions – that’s a tease, not a session. Saturday the 1st of August morning turns glassy again, and there’s a 3ft west swell with 46 energy – still nothing exciting.
Then, finally, on Tuesday the 4th of August morning, something shows up. We get a 6ft west swell with a 7-second period, combined energy jumping to 333 – that’s moderate energy finally – and glassy conditions. That’s the standout for the whole 16-day window. It’s still a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have that long groundswell push. That said, if you’re an experienced surfer, that morning’s your best shot by far.
After that, Tuesday afternoon sees 8ft west swell at 8 seconds with 599 energy, but there’s a light cross-onshore chop. That’s big enough to be expert territory, and with that short period it’ll be a handful – more of a battle than a flow.
Honestly, Algajola stays mostly flat or junk for the entire run. That one Tuesday morning on the 4th is the only real glimmer. For the rest, you’re better off finding something else to do.

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.
