The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have an honest look at the 16-day picture for Algajola. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The forecast is pretty flat for the whole stretch, with only tiny scraps of swell and hardly any day that’s going to get your heart pumping.
We kick things off with absolutely nothing happening. The first real chance to get wet won’t come until Thursday the 10th. Even then, it’s barely a pulse. That morning, the swell bumps up to about 4 ft out of the west, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate combined swell energy (137). Winds are glassy from the SSE, which is a huge positive – it’ll be clean, no doubt. But for a spot that’s “inconsistent” and exposed to SW, this west swell isn’t really doing it any favors. The wave energy is there, but the quality is just ordinary. For a complete beginner, the size is small enough to manage, but don’t expect much push.
After that morning, the rest of the window is mostly poor. There’s a glimmer on the morning of Wednesday the 18th of September – 3 ft from the west, 5-second period, combined swell energy (34), and glassy conditions from the south. The size is tiny, but if you’re desperate for a clean, knee-high dribble, that’s your window. Still, with that short period, it’s going to be weak and bumpy.
Honestly, there isn’t a standout session in this whole 16-day outlook. The best on offer is that Thursday the 10th morning, and even then, “best” is a kind word. Crowds are rare here, which is the one silver lining – you’ll have the place to yourself for some very average waves. Water temp is about average for this time of year. Don’t get your hopes up; it’s a long wait for very little payout.

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.
