Algajola Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. This is Rusty, and here’s how things are shaping up for our little corner of the world.

Right now, it’s a pretty poor stretch for any kind of proper session. We’re looking at a dead start with no real surf to speak of for the next several days. The sea is flat, the energy is zilch, and even on the odd day where a tiny bump creeps in, the wind just ruins it. The first chance at anything rideable won’t come until the morning of September 2nd, and even then, it’s only just barely surfable. That’s a long dry spell to sit through.

Come Wednesday the 3rd of September though, things look like they’re finally about to wake up. The morning is the real standout of this whole outlook. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell rolling in from the west with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy behind it is strong (665). More importantly, the wind is glassy out of the south, so the conditions are expected to be good. This is the one to circle on your calendar if you’ve been waiting. For Algajola, a west swell works well, and with it being that size, it’s going to be a proper wave. It’ll be pushing into expert territory though, so leave the foamies at home. The water is sitting at 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need much rubber.

Following that, there’s a bit of a messy cooldown. The afternoon of the 3rd looks like it goes onshore and choppy, and the 4th of September is blown out completely by strong winds. Then we hit another flat spell until the morning of September 9th. And that, my friends, is a real sleeper hit.

The morning of Wednesday the 9th is showing a whopping 10ft west swell with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy readings are massive (1493). With glassy conditions and offshore wind, it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. That is a serious groundswell pulse for Algajola, and at that size, it’s strictly for the experienced crew. The afternoon looks a little more questionable on the tide but still holds waves. It’s far out, so keep an eye on the long-range forecasts, but that one has real potential to be the session of the month.

Honestly, because Algajola is an inconsistent spot, waiting through these flat, blank runs is just part of the deal. But when it comes on, it comes on. Keep the board waxed and your eyes on the 3rd and the 9th.

Rusty.
