Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you what’s cooking at Bogliasco.
First ten days are a total bust. We’re looking at ankle-biters, maybe 0.3ft to 1ft at best, with winds that are mostly onshore or just messy. The energy numbers are tiny – between 1 and 14. There’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a proper dry spell.
The first real chance of a wave comes Saturday morning, the 18th of July. The swell bumps up to about 4ft from the southwest, with a 7-second period. The energy jumps to 122, and with a clean offshore breeze from the north, those waves will actually be rideable. It’s nothing special, but it’s something.
Now, the one to circle on your calendar is the morning of Wednesday, the 22nd of July. That’s the best of the whole outlook. We’re looking at a solid 5ft south-southwest swell, with an 8-second period, and a combined energy of 326. The wind is offshore from the north, making for clean conditions. That’s the session.
The following morning, Thursday the 23rd, still has some waist-high waves around 5ft from the same direction, but the wind gets a little cross-off, so it won’t be as glassy.
Forget the first ten days. The 22nd of July morning is the one to chase.
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.
