The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at the Bogliasco forecast and, honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The water is sitting at 82°F right now, which is about 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s much warmer than normal, so you can leave the spring suit at home.
Right now, through the end of July and into the first week of August, there’s barely a ripple. For the rest of this week and the first few days of August, we’re looking at a major flat spell. The combined wave energy is mostly a measly 1 to 14 (weak energy), with a few days of total zero. The swell is tiny, mostly 0.3ft to 2ft, and the period is short, under 8 seconds. There’s nothing to get excited about. The wind does go glassy or offshore on a few mornings, but there’s simply no swell to clean up.
There’s a gap of almost no surf until the second week of August. The first real hint of something comes on the morning of Sunday, August 10th. The swell picks up slightly to 3ft from the SSW with a period of 6 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the North. The combined energy reaches 48 (still weak). It’s still poor surf, but it’s the best looking window in the whole run. The morning of Tuesday, August 12th also shows a clean 2ft from the SW with a period of 8 seconds and a 45 energy reading, with glassy conditions. That could be a dawny session.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of August 10th. The 3ft SSW swell with 6-second period and offshore wind gives you the cleanest, most rideable waves of the 16 days. The crowd is only “sometimes” an issue, but for a spot that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the south, you might have it to yourself. The other option is the morning of August 12th, with 2ft SW swell, glassy wind, and an 8-second period that’ll hold the wave face a little better.
For the rest of the 16 days, the surf is basically non-existent. The period is so short and the swell so small that it’s barely worth paddling out. If you’re desperate, the 10th or 12th mornings are your only shot.
Stay patient, folks. The forecast is a dud, but it tends not to stay this flat forever.
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.
