Alright, let me level with you. For the next couple of weeks, it’s looking pretty grim for a paddle. If you’re in Corsica and you’ve got a kite, well, maybe you’ll find something, but for a surfboard, we’re in for a long dry spell.
Starting off, it’s flat. Nada. Zip. For the first ten days or so, from July 7th right through to the 16th, the swell is either non-existent or just tiny little wind slop. We’re talking waves barely six inches high, nothing you’d even paddle out for. There’s a bit of very small stuff on the 9th and again on the 16th, but with combined wave energy readings of just 14 and 7, it’s basically flat. The wind on the 9th is light cross-shore, but the swell is too weak to bother with.
The water is warm, about 79° on Tuesday morning the 7th, and that's a massive 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. Really unusual, but with no surf, it’s just a bath.
Then, on the morning of Monday, July 21st, things finally wake up. That’s your one and only standout window. Algajola (Algajola) will see a solid 7ft groundswell from the west, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a stacked 441 combined wave energy – the only real energy in the whole outlook. The wind is glassy offshore from the north-northeast, so the surf will be clean. However, 7ft is up there, a bit too big for beginners, and with that shorter period, it might be a bit crumbly on the beach break setup.
The afternoon of the 21st is smaller but still okay for a semi-competent surfer, with about 5ft waves. But the wind swings a bit cross-onshore.
After that, it drops back down to nothing again. The 22nd has a little 3ft wave, but the energy is gone.
So, the honest truth: you’ve got one morning, July 21st, to get on it. Everything else is a write-off. Keep the board waxed and your fingers crossed for a better forecast later on.

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.
