The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it, my friend.
To be straight with you, we've got a grim outlook for Algajola. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there's barely a whisper of proper swell. The one small pulse that tries to show up is just too weak to get excited about. This is going to be a long, quiet stretch, broken only by a brief moment on the 17th and 18th of September where it might not be totally flat.
The first bit of hope arrives on the morning of Thursday, the 17th. We see a tiny 1ft W swell rolling in, period of 6 seconds, with a very low combined swell energy (11). The wind is a cross-off from the south at 9 mph, so it will be clean. It's not going to be anything to write home about, and pretty weak.
Friday morning the 18th looks much the same. The swell is still tiny at 1ft from the WSW, with a short 6 second period and low energy (11). Winds are cross-off again from the SSW at 12 mph, keeping it clean. It's really marginal, but probably the most surfable the forecast will get.
The best of a bad bunch would be that Friday morning. For a beginner, and with the break being inconsistent to begin with, these tiny 1ft waves might offer something to play on. But honestly, it's a stretch. The swell direction is from the WSW, while the spot does best with a SW swell, so it's not even coming from the right angle. For everyone else, this is not worth paddling out for.
After that little hiccup of energy, the surf flatlines again from Saturday the 19th right through to the end of the window. The energy drops to zero and there’s just nothing to ride. We’re looking at days and days of flat water.
The bottom line is, there's nothing on offer here for a surfer. Store the board and check back in a week; forecasts can change. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so at least it won't be freezing when you're sitting there watching the flat ocean.
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.
