The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut straight to it. I've scanned the charts for our local stretch, and honestly, it's a pretty quiet picture. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window for us. The energy just isn't there to get anything worthwhile breaking.
Looking at the data, most of the time the swell is tiny or flat, and when there's a little bump, the wind or conditions are against us. This kind of blank run, while frustrating, isn't unusual for this area.
The only pulse of any note comes on Friday 18 September morning. We'll see a small bump from the SSW pushing in around 3 ft, but with a short period of just 6 seconds, it's going to be weak and lacking any punch. The combined wave energy is only moderate at best (75). The wind is swinging light cross-offshore from the ENE though, which will keep it clean. It's surfable, but it's a real grinder. Bogliasco is a sandbar, so the short period swell won't have much shape to it.
The water temperature is a massive 4° warmer than normal, sitting at 79°, which is very unusual for this time of year.
After that, the plug gets pulled. From Saturday 19 September until the 29th, the numbers flatline at zero or nothing of any real size. The morning of Tuesday 30 September has a clean, moderate offshore wind from the N at 12 mph, but the swell is only 1 ft with an 8-second period and energy readings in the teens. It's barely a ripple.
So, to sum it up: don't hold your breath. The next week and a half is a write-off for getting wet. Keep the board in the car just in case, but the forecast is what it is.
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.
