The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Bogliasco over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, the ocean is dead flat. The first ten days are a total bust – from Monday 7th September right through to Wednesday 16th September, there’s barely a bump. A few 0.4m or 0.6m swells try to show up, but with periods of 3 to 4 seconds and onshore or cross-onshore breezes, you’re just wasting your time. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. That’s a solid run of more than a week with nothing worth paddling for.
Then, on Friday 18th September morning, we finally get a pulse. That’s the standout window. A 1.5m SW swell comes in with a 6-second period, and the wind is a clean offshore from the north at 10 km/h. The combined energy is moderate (301). The Bogliasco sandbar should handle the southwest direction, and with that light offshore breeze, the surface will be clean. It’s not a big day, but it’s the best we’ve got. The afternoon of the 18th drops to 1.2m and goes glassy – still surfable, but less power.
Saturday 19th September morning hangs on with 1.0m SSW and a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s fading fast. By the afternoon, the wind turns onshore and the swell collapses. After that, it’s back to near-flat conditions for the rest of the 16 days.
So, if you want a wave, mark the morning of Friday 18th September. It’s the only real chance in a long, quiet stretch. The rest of the forecast is a dud. Things can change, but right now, I’d keep your board in the bag.
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.
