The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get into it. To be straight with you, the 16-day outlook for the region is a quiet one. I’ve had a look at what’s coming, and honestly, there’s no surf worth chasing for the vast majority of this period. It’s a long gap of small, weak waves and poor conditions.
From Wednesday 15 July right through to the end of the month, it’s a real struggle. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the energy is minimal. The best of a bad bunch might be a couple of mornings, but the wave comment tells the story- it’s just poor surf conditions across the board. There’s a gap of several days, especially around the 21st to the 25th, where there’s next to nothing at all.
The only standout that shows a flicker of something is Bogliasco on Tuesday morning 28 July. The swell is a modest 4ft from the SW, with a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s not going to be groundswell with any real punch. The combined energy hits a moderate 125, which is a bit more than the rest of the month. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it won’t be clean perfection, but it’s not a complete write-off. The water temperature is a remarkable 82°, which is a massive 8° warmer than average for the time of year – very unusual, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.
But overall, this is a blank run. It’s one of those stretches where the Mediterranean just goes flat. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
