Alright, Rusty here, with the same outlook but in feet. It’s a tough one for Algajola—two and a half weeks of basically nothing worth paddling for.
From now through mid-July, the surf is flat or tiny. The first few days have waves maxing out around 2 feet from the west, with a short, weak period of 6-7 seconds. Combined swell energy is pathetic, topping out at just 32 (weak) on Saturday morning, then dropping to nearly nothing. The wind is light and sometimes glassy, but there’s no swell to make use of it. Water temp is pretty average for this time of year, so at least the flat spells will be comfortable.
Through the next week, it’s more of the same. A few glassy mornings, like Monday (July 7th) and Wednesday (July 9th), but the swell is only 0.6 to 1 foot. That’s barely enough to wet your fins. By the second weekend, July 12th and 13th, there’s a tiny bump from the north-northeast, but it’s short-period (3 seconds) and the energy is negligible (3-4). Not worth getting wet.
There’s a slight pulse on July 14th, Tuesday morning, when the energy hits 36 (still weak) and waves push to just over 2 feet from the west with a 6-second period. But the wind swings southwest at 18 mph, making it a lumpy, cross-shore mess. That looks more fun for kite surfers than paddle surfers. After that, it’s back to flat or ankle-high through July 19th, with most days showing zero swell.
No standout days here at all. For Algajola, this kind of dead run is pretty normal this time of year. Forecasts can always change, but for now, I’d leave the board on the rack. Rusty out.

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.
