The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
Honestly, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a flat spell. Bogliasco is looking at a long, quiet run with hardly any energy for the next couple of weeks. If you’re aching for a paddle, you’ll be waiting until mid-August for the first real chance to get wet.
The whole first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. From Tuesday, 4th August right through to the morning of Saturday, 15th August, there’s no surf worth mentioning. You’ll see a few tiny bumps in the data, but we’re talking 0.3ft to 1ft stuff with combined swell energy barely scraping into double digits (1 to 25). The wind does swing offshore or glassy at times, especially on the mornings of the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th, but with no swell to push it, it’s just a flat, clean ocean. Not a single wave to ride.
Now, the standout—and I mean the *only* standout—arrives on Saturday morning, 15th August. That’s your best bet. Bogliasco (Italy) will see a little bump in swell: 3ft coming from the SSW with a period of 5 seconds. The combined swell energy hits 56, which is still on the weak side, but it’s the most we’ve seen. The wind is offshore from the north at 6 mph, keeping things clean. The tide and sandbar might just line up for a few small, fun waves. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s surfable after a long drought. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The surf quality drops off again that afternoon with a cross-onshore wind messing up the 2ft leftovers. Sunday morning, 16th August, has 3ft from the S (period 6 seconds, energy 67) but a cross-shore wind kills it. After that, the swell fades out again fast.
So, bottom line: if you’re desperate, mark your calendar for Saturday morning, 15th August. It’s your only real window. The rest of the 16 days is a whole lot of flat, clean, and disappointing.
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.
