Alright Rusty here. Let’s talk about Bogliasco. Mate, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a total bust. We’ve got a proper flat spell on our hands. From now, right through to the morning of Friday the 18th of July, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. We’re talking about days of nothing, just lake-calm conditions with tiny, weak dribbles that aren’t going to get you wet. You might see a ripple here and there, but it’s all poor surf conditions. The water is sitting at a very unusual 79°, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year – feels more like a bath than the Mediterranean.
Finally, on the morning of Friday the 18th of July, we get a tiny pulse. It’s weak, but it’s something. The swell is a small 3ft from the SW, with a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s just a weak, soft windswell. The combined energy is only 61, so it’s barely got any push. The saving grace is the wind: it’s glassy, dead calm. That means the surface will be clean, even if the waves are tiny. For a beginner, it might be a fun little splash about, but it’s not going to get your heart racing. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 4ft from the SW, but the onshore wind ruins it straight away.
Look, this is one of those tough runs where the forecast shows nothing. A blank stretch like this isn’t unusual for the area, but it won’t stay this way forever. Keep an eye on it.
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.
