The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on Algajola.
Truth is, for the next 16 days, this spot is barely gonna wet a board. There’s nothing worth chasing. The whole run is a long, flat, and windy mess. The first flicker of life pops up on Thursday, September 10th, but it’s nothing to write home about.
The swell is pitiful for the first week. Wednesday the 9th sees a little bump, with combined energy at 45 (weak) in the morning on a 1.0m SW swell with a 4-second period – that’s just wind chop. The afternoon tries to get to 1.5m and 8 seconds, but the wind blasts in at 35 km/h from the WSW, turning it into a lumpy, cross-shore froth. That’s kite-surfing territory, not surfing.
Thursday the 10th is the best of a bad lot. The morning brings a 1.4m swell from the west with an 8-second period, and the combined energy reaches 245 (moderate). The wind is light from the east, so it’s clean. It’s surfable, but only just. The break is inconsistent, and it’s a beginner wave, so it won’t have any punch. The afternoon gets chopped up again.
The rest of the 16 days is flat, with onshore winds and zero energy. The water is 81°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than usual – that’s weirdly warm. Feels more like a hot tub than the ocean.
There’s no standout here. The closest thing to a wave is Thursday morning, but it’s weak, small, and inconsistent. If you’re real keen, you could go for a splash, but don’t expect a ride. For this area, a blank run like this is pretty standard – it’s just the way it goes.
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.
