The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna level with you straight up: if you're looking for a proper surf this next couple of weeks, the Ligurian coast is giving us a whole lot of nothing. The waves are just not showing up. For the first week and a half, from Saturday the 18th all the way through to the end of July, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the combined energy barely registers a whisper. You're looking at a flat spell with maybe a few knee-high wobbles here and there. It's a grim run, and I don't see any reason to get excited. The area just goes through these quiet periods, and this is one of them.
The only faint glimmer of hope, and I mean *faint*, comes right at the end of the outlook. On Saturday morning, August 1st, Bogliasco might have a pulse. The wind is light offshore from the north, which would clean things right up, and there's a tiny 1.3ft SSW swell with a 5-second period. The combined energy is still weak (7). It's not going to be a classic, but it's the cleanest the water will be. Then, later that same day, the swell bumps up to 2.6ft from the SSW with a 6-second period (energy 40), but it's a cross-onshore wind, so it'll be a bit bumpy. The next morning, Sunday, August 2nd, offers a bit more period (8 seconds) from the SW with a clean offshore wind, but again, the size is only 1.0ft.
To be honest, none of these are standouts. The water temperature is a massive 4.4° warmer than normal, sitting at 82.9°F, which is very unusual and feels more like a bath than the Mediterranean. But with no real swell, you're just floating in warm, flat water. Conditions are more suited to a paddleboard or a swim than a surfboard. For the entire 16-day window, there's nothing worth chasing. Hopefully, a better pattern will set in after this.

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.
