The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here to talk about what’s happening at Algajola.
To be blunt, the next couple of weeks look mostly quiet. The first time you might even bother looking at the ocean is Friday morning, July 24th. There’ll be a tiny 3ft west swell with a short 7-second interval. The wave energy is pretty low (55), but the wind is light and from the east-northeast, so it’ll be clean. It’s still just poor, ordinary surf.
Then things go dead flat again until Monday morning, July 27th. That morning shows a bit more size at 3ft from the west-northwest, with clean wind from the south-southwest, but the energy is still weak (47). By the afternoon it jumps up to 7ft from the west with strong energy (865), but the cross-shore wind ruins it – lumpy and choppy.
Your best bet is Tuesday morning, July 28th. That’s a solid 7ft west swell with an 8-second period and strong energy (623). The wind is clean from the south-southwest, so it should be pretty smooth. That’s expert-level size, but crowds are rare, so you’ll have it quiet.
We get a glassy 4ft west swell on Wednesday morning, July 29th with moderate energy (149), which is surfable but inconsistent and still short-period.
The run into early August looks mostly flat or small and choppy. A clean 4ft west swell shows up again on Sunday morning, August 2nd with moderate energy (162), but that’s a long way out.
For my money, Tuesday morning, July 28th is the pick of a pretty quiet period. Big, clean, and uncrowded.
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.
