The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’m looking at the next 16 days for Algajola, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The pattern is grim for surfers, and you’ll be waiting a long time for anything that even gets close to rideable.
The only real blip on the radar shows up on Wednesday, 9th September. That morning, we’ve got a 8ft swell rolling in from the W, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a moderate amount of energy in the water (599), but it’s a short-period swell, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and lack that proper push. The wind is a clean, cross-off from the SSW at 15 mph, which means the surface will be clean. But here’s the catch – that size is definitely too much for beginners, and the quality is only marginal. The wind goes berserk in the afternoon, so that morning window is your only shot. Even then, the break is inconsistent, so don’t expect waves rolling through non-stop.
Before that, the first week is a total write-off. From the 3rd through the 8th of September, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves – mostly under 2ft – with poor energy readings (the combined energy never even hits triple digits). It’s basically a flat spell. The water is a very warm 82°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing to get excited about.
After that 9th September window, it drops right back down. The 10th has a small 5ft W swell, but the wind is a messy cross-shore. From the 11th onwards, it’s back to tiny, weak surf and mostly poor conditions, with many days showing zero energy. The second week is utterly quiet, with the only tiny flickers of life on the 17th and 18th September, offering a pathetic 2ft to 3ft W swell with offshore winds. It’s clean, but it’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, for a spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this is a long, blank run. The forecast can change, but right now, there’s just one very average, marginal morning to consider. If you’re desperate, be there at dawn on the 9th, but keep your expectations on the floor.
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.
