The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real. I’ve been staring at the charts for Algajola, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch. There’s a big fat gap of nothing really rideable from now all the way through to the 11th of September. That’s over a week of flat, or just plain messy, conditions. The few ripples we get are tiny, period is short as a hiccup, and the wind is all over the shop. It’s just not happening.
The water is a weird story, though. It’s sitting at 82°F and that’s a solid 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, feels like a bath, but it doesn’t help the surf.
We finally get a little pulse of life on the 12th of September. Saturday morning, the swell picks up to 5ft from the west, period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 208 (moderate). The wind goes glassy, coming from the east at just 3 mph. That’ll make for clean, smooth conditions. It’s the best window in the whole 16-day forecast, but honestly, it’s still just ordinary surf. It’s solid enough for a beginner, but 5ft is right on the edge of being too much for a total newbie. The lack of period means the waves won’t have much push.
The 13th of September, Sunday morning, has a similar vibe. Swell drops a touch to 4ft from the west, period still 6 seconds, energy moderate at 112. The wind goes light offshore from the SE at 3 mph, which is a recipe for clean, glassy faces. It’s a better shape than the day before, but the swell is a bit smaller. This is the other standout, but it’s not a world-beater.
After that, we’re back to the doldrums. The wind gets messy, the swell drops, and it’s just not worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. If you’re desperate, the 12th and 13th are your only real shots, and even then, keep the expectations low.

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.
