The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same stretch for you. Honestly, it’s a rough go for the next 16 days. There’s a huge gap right at the start with nothing to get your hopes up. You’re looking at a long, flat spell until around September 15th.
The first real chance of a wave doesn’t roll in until Tuesday, September 15th, and even then, it’s pretty small. Before that, it’s just tiny, weak swell or nothing at all. You’ll be staring at a flat ocean for nearly two weeks. The water is a warm 81°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be cold.
Okay, let’s get to the only window that’s worth a look. On Tuesday, September 15th, Bogliasco (Liguria) finally gets a tiny pulse. The morning is your best bet. There’s a clean, light offshore wind from the North at 9 mph, keeping a 3 ft swell from the SW clean. The period jumps to 9 seconds, so it’s got a bit more shape. The wave energy is 127 (moderate), so there’s a little bit of push. It’s small, but it’s the only game in town. The afternoon glass-off looks okay with 2 ft, but the morning offshore will give you the cleanest conditions. It’s a sandbar break, fairly consistent, and can get a crowd sometimes, but on a day like this, you might have it mostly to yourself.
The only other faint glimmer is the afternoon of the 15th, with glassy conditions and a 2 ft SW swell, but the energy is lower at 87 (weak). If you’re really keen, you could get a few fun little ones.
Other than that, the rest of the forecast is a total flat, messy bust. There’s a huge gap from now until the 15th. The 16th is back to tiny, forgettable stuff. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a real stinker. It won’t stay this bad forever, but for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
