The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks. To be straight up with you, it's a pretty quiet run for this stretch of coast. The swell window just isn't firing, and most of what we see are tiny, weak waves that won't get your heart racing. Water temp is sitting around 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you'll be fine in just boardshorts.
Looking at Algajola, the first sniff of anything rideable comes in on Wednesday morning the 10th of September. There's a small 4ft swell from the west, with a period of 7 seconds, and the morning looks clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. It's not going to be pretty, but you can find a wave. The combined energy is moderate at 177. Thursday morning the 11th is similar but a touch smaller at 3ft, though still clean.
Then on Saturday morning the 13th, we get a slightly bigger pulse – 5ft from the west, period of 7 seconds, with moderate combined energy of 212. The wind is light and offshore, so the surface should be clean. This is probably the pick of the whole run if you're desperate for a paddle, but it's still just ordinary, surfable waves.
After that, the surf just disappears. From Sunday the 14th onwards, through to the end of the window on the 23rd of September, we're looking at flat to near-flat conditions. Swell heights drop below 2ft, period drops right off, and combined energy values are in the single digits or low teens. There are plenty of glassy, clean mornings, but nothing to ride.
Overall, the 16-day forecast is a blank run. This is a pretty normal pattern for the area when there's no substantial swell in the forecast. The one morning on Saturday the 13th offers a brief chance, but don't get your hopes up. Best to keep an eye on the charts; it tends not to stay poor for long.

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.
