The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you – the surf around Levanto over the next couple weeks is mostly a no-go. We’ve got a whole lot of flatness ahead, with only a few tiny bumps that won’t get your heart racing.
Right now, Tuesday the 15th, it’s dead calm. Clear skies, a light NE breeze at 6 mph, but the wave is a pathetic 0.3 ft from the SW with a 4-second period. The combined energy is a miserable 1. Water temp is 80°, which is way warmer than normal – about 9° above average, so it’s practically bathwater.
Wednesday the 16th stays flat – 0.7 ft and a 3-second period, glassy in the morning with that NE offshore at 3 mph. Still nothing. Thursday the 17th picks up a little – 2 ft in the morning, rising to 3 ft by the afternoon from the SSW with a 6-second period. But there’s a risk of thunderstorms and cross-onshore winds, so it’s messy. The energy climbs to 62, but it’s still weak. Not worth the effort.
Friday the 18th is the only real highlight in this whole run. Morning sees 5 ft from the SW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 166 – that’s moderate. Glassy with a light E breeze at 3 mph, so it’s clean, but the short period means it’s a bit lumpy and average. Afternoon drops to 3 ft and energy falls to 44. It’s surfable, but nothing special.
From Saturday the 19th through Monday the 28th, it’s almost completely dead. A few mornings with 2 ft or 0.7 ft, but most days are zero. That’s a solid nine-day gap with nothing worth paddling for. Time to find another hobby.
Then Tuesday the 29th shows a tiny 1 ft from the SE with a 3-second period, and Wednesday the 30th drops back to 0.7 ft and 0.3 ft. Nothing.
Levanto is inconsistent, and this is one of those stretches where it just doesn’t fire. It’s an exposed break that wants a SW swell, but the energy just isn’t there. Beginners – nothing here is over 5 ft, so no worries there. But for everyone else, this is a blank run. It happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say keep the board in the car and enjoy the sun.

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.
