Alright, let’s talk about Levanto. Water’s warm – 78°F, and that’s about 6°F warmer than it normally is this time of year. That’s pretty wild.
Now, the truth is, this is a rough stretch. From Saturday the 4th right through to Tuesday the 14th, there’s almost nothing. Swell heights stay at half a foot or less, with periods as short as 3 seconds. It’s just flat, wind-chopped flatness. The combined wave energy is barely a whisper – most of the time sitting between 1 and 2 (weak). You’ll get glassy mornings that look pretty, but there’s no wave to ride.
There’s a real dead zone there, with no real recommendation until the 17th.
Wednesday the 16th morning has a tiny 0.7ft wave from the WSW, but the energy is still only 1 (weak) – not worth paddling out for.
The first hint of something happens on Friday the 17th of July. The morning brings a clean 1ft swell from the SW with a 4-second period. The wind is offshore from the east at 10 km/h (roughly 6 mph), keeping it tidy. The combined energy is 3 (weak), but it’s all we’ve got. The afternoon turns messy with a cross-onshore wind.
Saturday the 18th is a bit bouncier. The morning sees 1ft from the WSW, but with a risk of thunderstorms and a 15 km/h (9 mph) cross-onshore wind. Energy climbs to 8 (weak). The afternoon has 2ft from the SW with a lighter cross-onshore breeze of 5 km/h (3 mph). Energy hits 12 (weak). It’s still poor quality, but there’s something to push a board around on.
The one morning to circle is Sunday the 19th of July. The morning shows 3ft of swell from the SW with a 6-second period, and we get a clean offshore wind from the NNE at 10 km/h (6 mph). The combined energy jumps to 52 (moderate). Levanto is an advanced, inconsistent reef that likes SW swell, and this is lining up perfectly. For a spot that rarely turns on, this is your best shot. Expect a few other people out – crowds are sometimes an issue. That morning is your session.
After that, the afternoon drops to 2ft and the wind goes onshore.
For the first 10 days, with that weak swell and variable winds, this exposed setup is honestly looking more like a spot for kite surfing than for a paddle surfer. But that Sunday morning on the 19th? That’s worth the wait.

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.
