The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Algajola.
Honestly, the next 16 days look like a flat spell with only a couple of flickers of life right at the very end. For the first two weeks, you can pretty much leave the board in the car. The water temperature is sitting at 83°F, a full 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s more of a swimming situation than a surfing one.
We kick off this Sunday morning, the 9th of August, with a tiny 1ft glassy bump from the WSW at a short 4 seconds. The combined swell energy is just 3, so it’s basically nothing. That glassy wind is a treat, but there’s no push to work with. Sunday afternoon and Monday follow the same flat story.
Tuesday the 11th offers a marginal 1ft from the WNW with a 5-second period, but a messy cross-shore wind chops it up. Not worth paddling out. The rest of the week into the following weekend is just a dead calm, flat ocean with glassy mornings and light onshore breezes in the afternoons. This is a long, quiet stretch.
We finally see a pulse arrive on Saturday the 23rd of August. The afternoon brings 3ft from the WSW at a short 5 seconds with a fresh cross-shore wind, making for lumpy, messy conditions and a combined energy of 51. It’s not surfable.
Now, the one real standout – and it’s a stretch – comes on Monday the 24th of August. The morning offers the biggest swell of the period: 5ft from the W with a 7-second period and clean, cross-offshore winds. The combined energy jumps to 214. While it’s not huge, it’s the most push we’ll see. That 5ft is probably a bit much for absolute beginners, and the short period means it’ll be a bit slopey and closey-outy on the beach. The afternoon of the 24th sees the swell bump to 5ft, but a fresh 22 mph cross-shore wind will turn it into a complete washing machine. That morning window on the 24th is your only real shot, and it’s not a great one. Honestly, for the size and shape, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
So there it is. A whole lot of nothing, with one small window of hope right at the end. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this flat 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.
