The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. It’s looking flat as a pancake for a good while. We’re in for a serious dry spell.
We kick off on Saturday morning, September 12th, with a pathetic 1ft of southwest swell. The wind is light offshore, so it looks clean, but with a 5-second period and combined energy of only 6, it’s got no grunt. The water is a balmy 82°F, which is about 10°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s crazy warm, but the surf is just poor.
Then comes the dead zone. From the 14th through the 26th, there’s nothing. Not a wave worth paddling for. The 13th has a 0.3ft ripple, but that’s just teasing. This kind of prolonged flat spell is just part of the deal here sometimes, but it doesn’t make it any easier.
Finally, on Sunday, September 27th, we get a pulse of life. The morning shows a small 1ft from the west-southwest, but the afternoon sees it push up to 2ft from the southwest. The energy climbs to 23 and the period is still short at 5 seconds. Wind stays light, but it turns a little cross-onshore, so it won’t be glassy. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only game in town. Levanto is a spot that breaks inconsistently, so if it does show, you better be ready. The water will still be warm. Just don't expect any barrels.
Stay patient. That’s all I can say.
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.
