The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what we’ve got here. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch for Algajola over the next 16 days. The swell is tiny, the wind is often messy, and the energy just isn’t there. Most of the time, the surf is poor and not worth paddling out for.
Right now, the water is sitting at 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a big anomaly of over 5°, so it’s really unusual.
The first sniff of anything that might be worth a look comes on Monday morning, August 10th. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the west with a 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 110, and the wind is light and clean off the east, giving us a cross-off breeze. It’s not big, but it’s the best we’ll see. The break is inconsistent, so you’ll have to be patient, but it’s surfable.
After that, it drops right back down. The rest of the week is mostly flat or tiny, with glassy mornings but no real push. The swell direction never matches the optimum SW direction for this spot, and the period is short, under 8 seconds, so the waves are weak and lack shape.
There’s a 10-day gap with no real surf on offer, from late July all the way through to early August. The only day that even registers as surfable is that Monday, August 10th. For the rest, you’re looking at flat spells or chop. It’s a tough run for a spot that’s already inconsistent. Sometimes it just goes quiet like this.
Signing off, 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.
