The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the outlook for us.
Honestly, it’s a dry spell. The forecast kicks off with a big lull. From the start until the morning of Thursday the 10th, you can leave the boards in the shed. It’s flat or blown out.
Our first real glimmer comes on the morning of Thursday the 10th at Algajola. We’re looking at a tiny 1.0ft swell from the W, but the wind is dead glassy. That makes for clean, smooth conditions, even if the waves are small. The water is freakishly warm at 82° , way hotter than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is weak (79), so the waves will lack punch, but it's a beginner-friendly size. Crowds are rare, so you might have the place to yourself for a few clean, little rollers.
That’s the standout moment in the early part of the forecast. From the 11th through the 17th, it’s a mixed bag of poor conditions with tiny swell and onshore or cross-shore winds spoiling any chance of a clean wave. Thursday the 17th afternoon sees the swell jump to 4ft from the SW, but the wind is an onshore mess, so it’s not worth paddling out.
The next flicker of hope is the morning of Friday the 18th. Again, small 3ft W swell, combined energy up to (80), and glassy conditions. It’s still a small wave with a short period, but it will be clean.
Now, Monday the 21st of September brings a change. The swell hits 5ft from the W with a bit more period, and the combined energy bumps into moderate territory (220 in the morning, 265 in the afternoon). But the wind is a messy 12-18 mph from the SW, creating lumpy, cross-shore slop. That’s more of a kite-surfing wind than a clean surf session. The size is getting chunky, too, borderline for beginners and only really doable for experienced folks in those winds. Tuesday remains choppy.
So, to wrap it up: it's a quiet run. The morning of Thursday the 10th is your best bet for a few tiny, clean waves. The morning of Friday the 18th is a similar fallback. Beyond that, the swell shows up but the wind ruins it.
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.
