The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a quiet stretch for the Bogliasco sandbar. The overall pattern is one of very small, low-energy surf. We’re looking at a long gap of flat days right at the start, with nothing worth paddling out for on Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of July. The swell is just too weak and the period is too short to get anything going. In fact, the combined wave energy is a measly 2 (Friday morning) and 2 (Friday afternoon), which is barely a ripple.
Saturday the 25th stays flat, and while Sunday the 26th shows a tiny 2ft swell from the SE, the period is a short 5 seconds and the energy is only 21. It’s still poor. The wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be clean.
Monday the 27th of July is the best we’ve got on offer. The morning brings a 2ft swell from the SW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy is 42. It’s still small, but the real highlight is the wind – it’s clean off the NE (cross-offshore), which will keep the surface smooth. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. For a small sandbar, this is the one session to aim for if you’re really desperate. Don’t expect much, but it’s the only window with clean conditions. Crowds are possible here.
After that, we’re back into a flat spell. The combined energy drops to 14 on Tuesday the 28th, and then it’s all under 12 for the rest of the week. Sunday the 2nd of August shows a little bump: a 3ft SSW swell with a 6-second period and an energy of 42 in the morning. The wind is glassy from the NNE. Again, small, but glassy. That’s the only other standout in the whole 16 days.
The second week is more of the same – tiny waves, poor energy, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. Nothing to get excited about. This is a real Summer flat spell for Bogliasco. If you’re a kiter, the small onshore wind days might be more interesting than paddle surfing, but for a surfer, it’s a long wait. The forecasts can always change, but right now, mark Monday the 27th and Sunday the 2nd as your best, albeit small, chances.
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.
