Levanto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get real about this 16-day look at Levanto. It’s a tough run. We start from today, Tuesday July 7th, and right through until Sunday July 19th, it’s basically dead. Days of flat, glassy water or tiny, weak, short-period junk that barely moves. The combined swell energy is sitting at 4 (moderate) on the early days, often dropping to zero. That’s a solid 12 days of no real rideable surf.

The water temperature is 78°F, which is much warmer than normal—about 4°F above average for this time of year. You’ll be swimming in warm bathwater if you go in.

First real sign of life shows up on the morning of Monday July 20th. A little pulse from the SSE at 3ft, 6-second period, combined energy climbing to 45 (weak to moderate). It’s small and weak. Wind is glassy in the morning, so it’ll be clean, but the swell is tiny. Not really worth the paddle unless you’re just trying to get wet.

The one and only standout in this whole forecast lands on the morning of Tuesday July 21st. This is it. A 5ft SW swell with an 8-second period, and combined energy hitting 289 (moderate to strong). That’s proper energy. The wind is light from the east at 3 mph, clean as a whistle, and the swell direction lines up perfectly with the optimum SW for Levanto. It’s an advanced break and inconsistent by nature, so waves won’t come every set, but this is your best shot. The size is getting up there—too big for beginners, but for experienced surfers, this is your window. Crowds are a possibility here.

After that, Wednesday July 22nd falls off—3ft from the SW but with light cross and cross-onshore winds, and the energy drops back to 71 (weak to moderate). Not worth the time.

So here’s the deal: the next 12 days are a bust. Your one chance is the morning of the 21st, still two weeks out, so don’t bank on it too hard. But if it comes together, that’s the session you want.
