The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Algajola.
To be straight with you, it's a pretty grim stretch ahead. The finder shows there's just not much to get excited about for the next 16 days. Almost every single slot is scored as poor surf conditions, which is unusual, but it does happen here. We're going to see a long gap with absolutely no worthwhile waves. The first real glimmer of anything surfable doesn't pop up until the morning of Tuesday the 10th of September, but even that is just barely a 1 out of 10 – definitely not something to plan a trip around.
Before that, from now right through until the 12th, almost everything is a write-off. We've got tiny swell, mostly under 4ft, with short period around 4 to 7 seconds, and the wind is almost always cross or cross-on, keeping things choppy and messy. The only cleaner moments come on the 1st of September with a clean cross-off breeze, then again on the 4th and 12th, but the swell is so small (1ft to 3ft) and weak (combined energy just 6 to 55) that you'd be hard-pressed to get a ride.
The best on offer, and I'm using that term loosely, is the morning of Tuesday the 10th of September. We get a little tick up to 4ft swell from the W with a 6-second period, a combined energy of 137 (moderate), but the wind finally goes clean with a light cross-off breeze. It's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is about as good as it gets in this outlook. For beginners, 4ft is right at the top end of comfortable, and with clean conditions, it's the most user-friendly window we have. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
After that, the 12th of September morning shows similar clean conditions (3ft from N, combined energy 55) but it's very small.
So, if you're desperate for a paddle, the only day that might be worth a look is the morning of the 10th of September, but don't expect much. Everything else is flat or blown out.
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.
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.
