The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Algajola for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a quiet stretch. From now through the end of August, there’s barely a ripple worth chasing. The swell is tiny – mostly under 3ft – and when there’s a little bump, the wind is messy, blowing cross-shore and strong, making everything lumpy. The water is running at a very warm 84°, which is way above normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t do anything for the waves.
Sunday 23rd August starts with a small 2ft W swell at a short 6 second period. It’s cross-off but weak (combined energy just 36). Not worth suiting up.
Monday 24th through Monday 31st August are mostly flat, or offering at best a tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft bump. The mornings are glassy a few times, which is pretty, but there’s nothing to ride. On Saturday 29th, the energy jumps to 172 and then 307 in the afternoon with a 5ft W swell, but the wind is a fresh 35 km/h cross-shore. That’s rough and choppy – more of a kite day than a surf day.
Finally, on Tuesday 1st September morning, we get a clean window. The wind goes glassy with a light offshore from the SSE, and there’s a 4ft W swell. It’s a short 5 second period and weak energy (57), but the conditions are clean. The score is a 1 out of 10 – "surfable but very ordinary". That’s the best we see in the whole period. That afternoon, the swell jumps to 7ft from the W with a 7 second period and combined energy hits 364. That’s solid energy, but the wind goes cross-shore and light, making it marginal.
After that, Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd September drop back into poor conditions with fresh cross-shore winds, and then we fade into tiny, weak swells through to Monday 7th September.
The takeaway: It’s a lean couple of weeks. Algajola is the only break on the menu, and Tuesday 1st September morning is your best shot – glassy conditions with a small 4ft W swell. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be clean. After that, it’s back to waiting.
Don’t force it, check back later.

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.
