The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll give it to you straight – it’s been dead quiet. We’re looking at Levanto and for the next week and a half, there’s hardly a bump worth paddling for. The water is a warm 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you’re just swimming, it’s nice, but for surfing? It’s a long wait.
The first few days are a total wash. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of August have zero surf – flat calm, light wind, but no swell. That keeps up through Wednesday the 5th and into Thursday the 6th, though Thursday morning does see a tiny 0.3ft SW swell with a 8-second period and glassy conditions – energy is just 1 (weak) though, so you’d be lucky to find a knee-high dribbler. Not worth the effort.
Friday the 7th of August morning gives a slight bump: 0.7ft from the WSW, period 8 seconds, and clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. Energy hits 8 (still weak). It’s not surfable for anyone but a total beginner on a foamie. By Friday afternoon, we get 2ft from the SW at 7 seconds, energy at 37 – still small and weak, with a light cross-onshore wind. Saturday the 8th is more of the same: 2ft to 2ft, short period (5-6 seconds), energy in the 30s. That’s not a wave – it’s chop and closeouts.
Sunday the 9th of August morning has a clean 1ft with a light offshore from the NNE, but period is just 5 seconds and energy is 4. It’s pretty but flat. The next real chance comes Thursday the 13th onward – we see another flat spell from the 10th to the 14th, with zeros across the board. A tiny 1ft WNW swell shows on Saturday the 15th afternoon – period 4 seconds, energy 5. That’s not going to do anything.
We finally see a tiny pulse on Tuesday the 18th of August: 2ft to 2ft from the SW, period 5 seconds, but winds go cross-onshore, moderate to fresh, and choppy. Energy hits 18 (still weak). It’s a mess.
So here’s the truth: There are no good surf options in the entire 16-day window for Levanto. The break is inconsistent, and this run of flatness is typical for the area when the swell just doesn’t line up. Don’t bother waxing up – keep the board in the bag. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total blank.

Information about the Levanto Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Levanto provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Levanto can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Levanto 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 (Levanto) 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 Levanto 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.
Levanto is 1 km (1 miles) from Sestri Levante. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sestri Levante. Sestri Levante has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
