The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for Bogliasco over the next couple of weeks. I've got to be straight with you, it's a pretty bleak picture for the most part. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and mostly poor conditions. There's a real gap in decent surf here.
The water is a notable 79°F right now, which is a massive 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year – very unusual.
The first week is a write-off, honestly. We start off on Monday the 14th with a tiny 0.3ft southerly swell, weak energy (1), and a cross-onshore wind. That's a no-go. Tuesday the 15th is clean with a light offshore in the morning, but still only 0.3ft. Wednesday the 16th is glassy in the morning but there's no swell at all. Thursday the 17th sees a little pulse, 2ft from the south, but the wind is messy and there's a risk of thunderstorms. It just doesn't come together.
Friday the 18th is the only day that even gets a mention as "surfable", but even that's pushing it. The afternoon goes glassy with a 3ft south-southwest swell. The energy is still weak (81) and the period is short at 6 seconds. It's the best of a bad bunch, but it's barely a knee-high dribbler.
After that, it's back to tiny, clean, but flat conditions through the weekend and into the next week. We see a little bump of 1ft from the south-southeast on Friday the 25th with clean offshore winds in the morning and glassy conditions in the afternoon, but again, the energy is weak (22-24). That’s about as good as it gets, and that’s not saying much.
Forget the second week. There's nothing to get excited about. A few 0.7ft to 1ft days with clean winds, but it's just not enough to paddle for. The whole 16-day window is a bust for any kind of quality wave. This is one of those times where you'd be better off checking the forecast again in a few days.

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.
