The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead for Algajola. The next week and a half is looking flat and uninspiring, so don’t be in a rush to load up the boards.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Monday the 17th of August, with a tiny bump of swell at 2ft from the west, but it’s messy with a cross-onshore breeze and the energy is still very weak (30). Honestly, not worth the paddle.
The standout window arrives on Tuesday the 18th of August. The early morning session is the one to circle. We’ve got a 8ft west swell pushing in with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps right up to 907 (strong). The wind is light and offshore, making for clean conditions. This is proper size and power – Definitely one for the experienced crew only, as over 8ft is expert territory. It’s a fun, punchy west swell, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be a nice morning if you’ve got the skill.
After that, Wednesday the 19th of August morning still has some decent leftover west swell at 5ft, period 9 seconds, and the energy is solid (402). The winds are glassy again, so it’ll be clean, but it’s a step down from the Tuesday peak. Good for intermediate surfers, but not the standout.
The rest of the run into the 22nd of August fades away fast, with small, weak, and often windy conditions. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
So, to sum it up: the only true standout is Tuesday the 18th of August morning. Go big or go home.
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.
