The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about Bogliasco for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, this is a tough stretch. The first week looking at the charts is pretty grim; there’s almost nothing rideable heading our way. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82.4°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year at Bogliasco.
The only real glimmer of hope, and I mean the only one worth paddling out for, arrives on Thursday morning, the 6th of August. That morning, we finally see a pulse of swell, with waves building to about 3.6 ft from the SSW. The combined energy reads at (104), which is moderate, and the wind is glassy—dead calm. That offshore breeze from the ENE will keep the surface smooth. It’s a sandbar setup, so expect it to be pretty inconsistent, but for a Thursday morning, you might get some clean little waves to yourself. It won’t be world-class, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Before that, the only other remotely surfable moment is Monday the 27th of July in the morning. The swell is tiny at 2.9 ft from the SSW, with a light offshore wind from the NE. The energy is weak (69), and the period is short, so it’s not going to be great, but it will be clean. You could maybe get a few closeouts if you’re desperate.
After the 6th of August, it looks like the tap turns off again completely, with flat spells and nothing of consequence for the rest of the window. For kite surfers, the afternoons with a cross-onshore breeze might offer something, but for a paddle surfer, the pickings are very, very slim.

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.
Bogliasco is 11 km (7 miles) from Genova. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Genova. Genova has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
