The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a tough one for the Bogliasco area. The whole 16-day window is looking flat, and I mean, really flat. We’ve got a solid gap from the start, with no real surf on offer until the middle of the second week. The first week is a write-off, with nothing but tiny, weak bumps and a lot of calm, glassy mornings that look pretty but won’t get you wet. The energy is just not there. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits most days, often sitting at 0 or 4 (weak). It’s a frustrating start.
For the first real highlight, we have to look all the way to Tuesday morning, 18 August. Even then, it’s marginal. The best option is Bogliasco (sandbar), where we’ll see a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 5 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NE at 3 mph, keeping it clean. The combined swell energy is still low at 33 (weak). Honestly, this is not a day for a proper session; it’s a knee-high dribble. But it’s the only thing that’s even remotely ridable in the whole forecast. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you could get a goofy-foot little left on the sandbar, but don’t expect much.
That’s your lot. The rest of the period is a blank. It’s a rare run of truly poor conditions for the area. Still, it tends not to stay this flat for long, so keep an eye on the charts.
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.
