G’day, Rusty again. Let’s put this in feet and miles.
Straight up: the next week and a bit is flat. From Wednesday 8th July through to Thursday 16th July, we’ve got swell barely reaching 1ft, mostly with period under 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is tiny—under 40 (3 or less). Some glassy mornings, but no wave to ride. This is a dead stretch.
Friday 17th July stays poor—small swell and wind screaming 22–25 mph from the SW, messy cross-chop. Not worth paddling.
The first standout is Saturday 18th July. Swell jumps to 5-6ft from the W, period 7 seconds, combined energy 325–388—moderate and punchy. The morning has a cross-off breeze that keeps it reasonably clean. The afternoon gets messy with 22 mph cross-shore winds. At 6ft, this is not for beginners. Waves will be fat with the short period, but there’s enough push.
Sunday 19th July still has 4-5ft, but the wind turns cross-shore then cross-onshore. On the decline.
Now the real highlight: Wednesday 22nd July. We get 6ft from the W, period 7 seconds, energy 586 (strong). But the best is Thursday 23rd July morning. Swell 5-6ft from the WSW, period 7 seconds, energy 444, with glassy wind from the S. This is the cleanest surf of the whole 16-day window. The swell direction matches Algajola’s optimum, so the waves will line up. Water temps are average for the season, nothing unusual. Crowds are rare, so you could have it quiet. At 5-6ft, it’s solid—intermediate and above only.
Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st have small waves or messy wind. Friday 17th is a write-off. So there’s a long flat spell until the 18th, then a few average days, then that glassy morning on the 23rd is your best bet.
Short period means these aren’t groundswell gems, but with clean winds and head-high waves, you’ll get some fun ones. If you can wait, the 23rd morning is the one to aim for.
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.
