The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the surf menu is pretty bare for a while. We’re looking at a long, flat spell starting now, stretching all the way to the morning of Monday, September 21st. That’s almost two weeks of nothing. The only thing that stands out is the water temp at Bogliasco, which is a balmy 82° – way warmer than normal for September.
Don’t bother paddling out until that Monday. On the morning of the 21st, we get a lift from a southwest swell, pushing to about 4ft with a 9-second period. It’s got moderate energy behind it (253) and the winds look clean, blowing offshore from the north. That’s your window. The sandbar at Bogliasco will be the spot to be. It’s fairly consistent, and with the offshore breeze, the waves will have some shape. The afternoon will see the swell drop to about 3ft from the southwest, still with a clean cross-off wind.
That Monday is the only real shot you’ve got. After that, it’s back to tiny, unrideable junk. Mark the date.
Rusty.

Information about the Bogliasco Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bogliasco provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bogliasco can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bogliasco 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 (Bogliasco) 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 Bogliasco 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.
Bogliasco is 11 km (7 miles) from Genova. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Genova. Genova has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
