The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. Let me walk you through what the next couple of weeks look like for us.
Honestly, it's a brutal stretch on the surf front. We've got a massive gap with no surf at all. From now, all the way through until the 19th of August, it's flat. Just flat. The mornings will be clean and glassy with offshore breezes, but there's simply no swell to push. The water is around 83° Fahrenheit, which is feeling much warmer than it should be for this time of year.
The first sign of life, and I use that term loosely, shows up on the morning of August 19th. A tiny pulse from the SSW at 1 foot, with a short period of 5 seconds and basically no energy (5). The wind will be offshore from the North at 9 mph, so it'll be clean, but the waves will be too small to ride.
The rest of the outlook stays grim. Through the 20th and 22nd, we see more tiny, weak pulses from the SW and SE. The wave heights are around 1 foot, the periods are short, and the winds are mostly onshore or side-shore. The morning of the 23rd has a moment of dead calm and glassy water, but the swell is still a paltry 0.3 feet from the SW with a period of 7 seconds.
There is not a single standout session in this entire forecast. This is a lean period. Sometimes you just have to wait it out. The forecasts can flip, but right now, there's no reason to paddle out. Save your energy.
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.
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.
