The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Algajola over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The Finder’s thrown up a whole lot of nothing for the first week and a half. We’re looking at a solid gap from now, the 19th of July, all the way through to the morning of the 28th of July with no real surf on offer. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is generally messy. It’s a classic summer flat spell.
The water is a stonking 82°F – that’s 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s much warmer than usual. At least you won’t need a thick wetsuit for the non-existent waves.
Now, the first chance we get is on Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. The combined swell energy finally climbs into the moderate range at 129, and we get a 4ft swell from the SSW with a 7-second period. The wind is a light SSW cross-off at 9 mph, which is clean. Look, it’s surfable, but it's very ordinary. For a beginner, that 4ft swell is manageable, but I wouldn’t call it a standout. The period is short, so the waves will be a bit weak and crumbly. It’s the best we’ve got, but that’s not saying much.
After that, we’re back into the doldrums. The rest of the week and into the first few days of August just shows tiny, weak swells and cross-shore or onshore winds. There’s nothing to get excited about. The combined energy values are all in the low double digits or single digits, confirming how weak everything is.
For a break like Algajola, which is already an inconsistent spot, this blank run is pretty normal for the middle of summer. The forecasts can always change, but right now, the only thing worth paddling out for is that Tuesday morning, July 28th, and even then, keep your expectations on the floor. You’re better off finding a sandbar or a swimming spot.
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.
