The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – the outlook for Algajola over the next sixteen days is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but flat, tiny dribble. The first week is basically a write-off for any real surfing. From Tuesday, August 4th, right through to the morning of Friday, August 7th, we’re looking at ankle-snappers between 0.3ft and 0.7ft. The water is a warm 82.0°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing to get excited about. The real story is a big gap of poor surf, and it isn’t until the morning of Friday the 7th that we see something that even gets a pulse.
That Friday morning, August 7th, we finally got a pulse of 3.6ft swell from the west, with a 7-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 110. It’s small, but the wind is light and cross-off, making it clean. You could get a few grovelly ones, but it’s just ordinary, not something to write home about. The pattern continues with very small, clean waves on Saturday morning the 8th (3.3ft, W), and then we’re back to flatness. The glassy conditions on Sunday and Monday mornings are pure torture – all that beautiful, calm water and no waves to surf on it.
After that, the middle of the week is a wasteland. We’re talking days of zero height and zero energy from Tuesday the 11th through Thursday morning the 13th. It’s a total gap. The next glimmer of hope comes on Saturday morning, August 15th, with 3.0ft from the west and a 6-second period, but it’s glassy. Again, just surfable, nothing special.
The best chance we get is the morning of Sunday, August 16th. We’ve got 3.6ft from the west, a 6-second period, and a light cross-off wind from the ENE. The combined energy is a moderate 101. It’s clean. This is the standout, but it’s still a very small wave, and for an inconsistent spot like Algajola, that’s just how it goes. The swell tries to push a bit bigger on Monday the 17th with 4.6ft, but the wind goes onshore and there’s a risk of thunderstorms, which ruins the quality.
Then, on Wednesday, August 19th, the swell really fills in, hitting 11.5ft from the west with a 9-second period and a massive 1874 combined energy. However, the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the southwest, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. The forecast even says the swell is too big for this break. With that much energy and messy wind, this setup at Algajola is looking more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle guys. It’s a no-go.
So, to wrap it up, the only real window is the morning of August 16th. It’s small and clean, but that’s the best on offer. The rest is a long, flat wait.

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.
