The Lowdown
Yo, it’s Rusty. Let me tell you about the next two weeks at Bogliasco in feet and fahrenheit.
Honestly, mate, it’s a total bust. There’s a huge dry spell from now all the way through to the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. That’s more than a week of flat or junk surf. The wave energy is either non-existent or pitifully weak, and the wind is mostly kicking up ripples or blowing straight onshore. No point even looking at it.
The only window that’s even worth a mention is the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. It’s glassy – dead calm – which is always a big plus for clean waves. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the SSW, with a combined energy of just 91, which is weak. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s going to be weak and crumbly. It’s described as "surfable but ordinary". Being 3ft, it’s fine for beginners, but don’t expect much push. The crowds are only sometimes there, so on a glassy morning you could have a few close-outs to yourself. The water temp is a very unusual 84°F, which is about 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath, but it won’t make the waves better.
After that, it’s a total write-off. The rest of the run into the end of the month and through to the 31st is flat. Swells barely reach 1ft, winds are onshore or cross-shore, and the conditions are ordinary. A couple of mornings have a clean offshore breeze, like on the 27th of August, but the swell is only 1ft – you can’t surf that.
The last few days of the month are completely flat. Zero energy. If you’re keen on kite-surfing, the afternoons around the 20th might have some 4ft to 5ft of onshore bump with a Southerly wind, but for a paddle surfer? Nothing doing. Better luck next forecast. 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.
