The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the 16-day outlook for Algajola.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast shows a whole lot of flat, weak, or messy conditions, with only a couple of brief moments that might get a surf-starved local out. For the first week and a half, there’s basically nothing to write home about. The water temperature is sitting at 82° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be swimming in bathwater if you paddle out, but the waves just aren’t showing up.
From Saturday the 29th of August, right through to the 10th of September, the swell is tiny and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, making any little bump look choppy and uninviting. The combined energy is weak, with values mostly under 100 (often just 8 or 30), meaning there’s just no power in the water. A few mornings, like the 1st and 3rd of September, show clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is barely 2 ft to 2 ft – really just ankle-snappers. By the 5th of September, we get a glassy Saturday afternoon with 3 ft from the WSW, but it’s still weak and not enough to get excited about.
Then, after a long drought, we finally see a pulse around the 11th and 12th of September. On Friday the 11th, the morning is glassy, with a 4 ft swell from the NNE, a period of 6 seconds, and moderate energy of 103. This is our first real chance. The problem is that this is a short-period swell and the wind is glassy, so the waves will be small and a bit weak, but it’s the best we’ve had. Then Saturday the 12th morning looks similar – 4 ft from the NNE, 6 seconds, clean with a cross-offshore breeze, and energy at 101. This is the standout window. The swell direction is from the NNE, which is not the optimum SW direction for Algajola, but given how poor everything else is, this is the wave to chase. The size is manageable for most, and the clean conditions mean it’ll be the most fun we’ve seen.
After that, it drops back to nearly nothing on the 13th, with a strong SW wind kicking up on the afternoon, so don’t expect much.
So, if you’re holding out, the best bet is that Friday 11th and Saturday 12th of September window. It’s not a pumping swell, but it’s clean, and it’s surfable. Everything else is a hard pass.
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.
