The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. I’ve been through the numbers for Algajola for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough watch. The finder didn’t flag a single good session, and the guidance shows this break is inconsistent, so this kind of dry spell isn’t a surprise.
The water is a toasty 83°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a hot tub.
We’re looking at a massive gap with no surf. From Sunday, 9 August right through until the morning of Monday, 18 August, it’s flat. The swell is practically non-existent, with the combined energy of all swells directed here stuck at 1. It’s a whole lot of nothing.
The only tiny bit of hope shows up on the morning of Tuesday, 18 August. We get a little pulse from the WNW pushing 3ft with a 6-second period. The combined energy hits 34 (still weak), but it’s the most we’ve seen. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSW, so it’ll be clean. But this is a tiny, weak wave for an inconsistent spot that’s only fairly exposed. The swell direction isn’t the optimum SW either. It’s a knee-high dribble, if that.
After that, it’s right back to flat and choppy through to the end on Monday, 24 August. The wind really howls on 21 and 22 August, with a fresh breeze from the SW at 22 mph, making conditions lumpy and useless for a paddle board. With that much wind and almost no waves, this beach setup looks way more interesting for a kite surfer.
So, there are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window. For a spot that’s rarely breaking, this kind of long blank run is pretty normal. Don’t get your hopes up, but forecasts can always change.
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.
