The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me look at what we’ve got here for the coming weeks. I gotta level with you straight off the bat: for Algajola, this 16-day outlook is a rough one. There just aren’t any real surf windows opening up. The forecast consistently shows poor surf conditions and tiny, weak swell through the entire run.
First up, Wednesday the 26th of August. There’s a pulse of tiny 2ft swell from the SW, but it's weak junk with only 17 units of energy. The morning looks clean enough with light offshore wind, but the afternoon goes cross-onshore. Basically, it’s a knee-high dribble. Not worth paddling out for.
Thursday the 27th, Friday the 28th, and Sunday the 30th all have glassy starts and a bit of weak, short-period swell, but the heights are all below 2ft and the energy is pitiful (single digits). You’ll be sitting there bobbing around, not surfing.
Saturday the 29th is the biggest pulse of the whole period with 3ft to 4ft swell from the W. But here’s the kicker: the wind is hammering it at 15 to 19 mph onshore and cross-shore. It’ll be a messy, lumpy, blown-out mess. Combined energy hits 66 to 80, which is still only moderate, and the short 6-second period means no real grunt. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than for us paddle surfers.
The first week of September tries to offer a few clean mornings on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, but the swell is tiny again—2ft on a good morning, dropping to 0.7ft. The energy barely gets into the double digits. The water temp is a very unusual 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s cold comfort when there are no waves.
From the 5th of September onwards, it’s practically flat. There are long gaps of several days with zero swell. The 5th, 8th, and 9th show a complete lack of any wave height. The little bumps on the 6th, 7th, and 10th are 0.7ft or 1ft with energy of 1 or 3. That’s not surf, that's a lake.
Algajola is an inconsistent break at the best of times, and this run is a blank one. No standout days, no hidden gems. The only break on offer here, Algajola itself, just doesn’t have the juice.
That’s it from me. Keep your eyes on the horizon, but don’t hold your breath on this one.
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.
