The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Let’s break it down for the imperial crew.
Over the next 16 days, Algajola is mostly a flat spell. There’s one window that could give you a wave, but you’ve gotta be quick. The water’s sitting at 81°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a plus if you’re just floating.
The only real chance to surf is Thursday morning, September 17th at Algajola. We’ll see waves around 5 feet from the WSW with a short 8-second period, and the combined wave energy is moderate at 544. The wind will be light from the south at 9 mph and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean and glassy. This is your best bet, but with 5 feet on offer, it’s getting a bit solid for beginners. The period is short, so don’t expect much power behind it.
Thursday afternoon, though, the wind cranks up from the WSW to 22 mph, making it a lumpy cross-shore mess. The swell pushes to about 7 feet, but the quality tanks. That morning window is your only real shot.
From Friday the 18th all the way through to Monday the 28th, it’s tiny – mostly under 2 feet – with light breezes and some afternoon onshores. There’s no consistency at all. That kind of long flat run is pretty standard for this area. On the windier afternoons, the setup here is better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, one highlight: Thursday morning, September 17th. Get in early, because it won’t last.
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.
Algajola is 9 km (6 miles) from Calvi. If you plan a holiday in Corsica, look for hotels and other accommodation in Calvi. Calvi has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
