The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s in store for Levanto over the next couple weeks.
Right now, it’s flat. Nothing surfable from today until the end of next week. The first real chance for waves doesn’t come until Tuesday, August 18th, so that’s about a week of flat, clean conditions with zero swell.
On Tuesday the 18th, we finally get a little pulse. The morning brings a 5ft SW swell with a period of 7 seconds. Not great, but rideable. The wind is a light offshore from the NE, so the waves will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (183). It’s small enough for intermediates, but might feel weak for the advanced crew. The afternoon goes a bit cross-offshore from the NW, with the swell dropping to 4ft, still surfable but nothing special.
Wednesday the 19th is similar – 4ft SW swell in the morning, clean with a light NNE offshore wind. Energy is moderate (162). It’s consistent enough for a paddle, but the quality is just ordinary. By afternoon, the wind swings WSW and it gets a bit messy with cross-on conditions.
The real standout window is Thursday the 20th. The morning is the best of the whole forecast. The swell is 5ft from the SW, with a period of 8 seconds, and it’s glassy – NE wind at 3 mph. That’s clean, lined-up surf with moderate to strong energy (227). This is the morning to be in the water at Levanto. For a spot that’s inconsistent, this is a rare treat. Expect it to be clean and fun. Crowds are possible, but with it being inconsistent, you might get a good window before anyone else shows up. The afternoon goes onshore and messy, so get your session in early.
After that, the swell drops right off. Friday the 21st through the end of the forecast is mostly small, weak, and poor quality. The 23rd has a small 3ft SW swell with a light offshore NNE wind, but the energy is weak (101) and the period is short, so don’t get excited. By Monday the 24th, it’s back to tiny waves and flatness.
So here’s the bottom line: the first week is dead flat. The 18th and 19th are rideable but ordinary. The absolute standout is Thursday morning, the 20th of August – glassy, 5ft SW swell, and the best conditions of the whole run. After that, it fades fast. For Levanto, this is a brief window of fun.
Rusty.

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.
