The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you—this is a tough one for the local area around Levanto. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell before anything even worth paddling out for shows up. The first week and a half is basically flat or just tiny dribble, so don’t bother checking the buoys.
We start off Friday 7 August with a tiny 2ft SW swell at 7 seconds, but it’s weak—combined energy of just 22—and the wind is a messy cross-offshore. Saturday 8 August and Sunday 9 August are even smaller, with nothing over 1ft. Monday 10 August through to Sunday 16 August is a total write-off: zeros or near-zeros, glassy mornings but no swell to speak of. That’s an 8-day gap with no surf worth mentioning.
Then, on Monday 17 August, there’s a little pulse: 2ft SW swell at 5 seconds, but it’s still poor with cross-onshore winds in the afternoon. The real standout—the only true standout in this whole 16-day stretch—hits Tuesday 18 August. Tuesday morning brings a proper 7ft SW swell with an 8-second period and combined energy of 665. That’s moderate-to-strong energy. The wind is light cross-offshore from the east at 6 mph, keeping things clean. This is advanced territory—over 8ft it’d be expert only, but at 7ft, it’s big and powerful for experienced surfers. Beginners, stay well clear. This is the best on offer. By Tuesday afternoon, it drops to 6ft with cross-on wind and a marginal score, so get on it early.
After that, Wednesday 19 August through to the end of the period fades fast back to tiny 0.7ft to 2ft junk, all poor conditions.
So, bottom line: if you’re an advanced surfer, make a plan for the morning of Tuesday 18 August. That’s your window. Everything else is a blank run. It’s one of those periods where patience is the name of the game, and forecasts can change, but right now, that’s the only shot.
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.
