The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Bogliasco. I’ve looked at the whole 16 days, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel for anything rideable. There’s a big gap of nothing from the start all the way through to the 26th of July, with barely a ripple. After that, we get a few pulses, but nothing that’s gonna get the heart racing.
For the first real bit of hope, we’re looking at Monday the 27th of July. The morning brings a clean 3ft swell from the southwest with a period of 8 seconds, and a light offshore breeze from the north. The combined energy hits 192 (moderate), which is the best we’ll see. The water is a whopping 84°F, which is 8°F warmer than normal—super unusual, like swimming in a bath. But the waves are small, and it’s a sandbar setup that’s fairly exposed to the south. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out. This is the standout, but it’s more of a longboard or funboard session than a full-on surf.
After that, the rest of the outlook is a total drag. Tuesday the 28th through the 4th of August is all tiny swells under 3ft, with periods mostly under 7 seconds, and energy readings that barely crack double digits. Winds are mostly offshore or glassy in the mornings, which is a tease, but the swell is just too weak. The 2nd of August Sunday morning has a 2ft southwest swell with a 6-second period and a gentle offshore, but it’s still a marginal wave. Honestly, this stretch is more about enjoying the warm water and clean conditions than scoring any real waves.
To sum it up: Monday the 27th of July morning is your best bet, and it’s not a world-beater. Everything else is a write-off. If you’re a beginner, the small stuff is safe, but if you’re looking for power, you’re out of luck.

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.
