The Lowdown
Well, folks, it’s Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for Algajola, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The next 16 days are looking mostly flat, with very little to get excited about for a paddling surfer. There’s a long gap of nothing from the start, and the few tiny bumps that show up are just not enough to work with.
Let’s start with the first real chance of any wave energy, which is Thursday the 10th of September. Thursday morning shows a little pulse of 3 ft swell from the west, with light offshore winds from the SSE. It’s clean, but the energy is still weak (41). The afternoon picks up a bit, with the swell building to 4 ft from the west, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 162. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s a bit of a weak, disorganised windswell, but it’s the biggest wave we’ll see. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s the best of a bad bunch.
Friday the 11th of September has a morning of 3 ft west swell, clean with a cross-off breeze, but the energy is only at 76. By the afternoon, the wind picks up hard from the WSW at 22 mph, making it lumpy and messy. The water temperature is a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Beyond that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The 12th has a bit of 4 ft swell from the north-northeast, but the wind is cross-on and choppy, and the energy is weak. From the 13th onwards, it’s mostly flat, with tiny 0.7 ft to 1 ft bumps that are barely worth mentioning. The swell is short period and weak, with energy values often in the single digits.
Honestly, if you’re looking to paddle, there’s just no standout here. The only real option is that Thursday the 10th, but even then, it’s marginal. The short period and inconsistent nature of Algajola mean this is a pretty normal run of quiet conditions. A kite surfer might find some interest in the windier afternoons, but for a surfboard, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, the pickings are very slim.
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.
