The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for Levanto over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the surf forecast for Levanto is pretty grim for the entire 16-day outlook. We’ve got a long, long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions ahead.
Looking at the whole period, the only real pulse of energy we see comes in on the morning of Saturday, August 29. That’s when a small south-west swell pushes through, hitting about 4 ft. The catch? The period is a weak 6 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell, so the waves are gonna be soft and lumpy. The combined swell energy reads at 124 (moderate), but don’t let that fool you – the shape won’t be there. The wind flips glassy that morning though, so if you’re truly desperate for a splash, you’ll find clean lines.
Levanto itself is an exposed spot, but the swell direction is south-west, which isn't its ideal optimum. It’s only for the advanced crew if it gets a bit of size, but by the afternoon the wind swings back onshore and it turns to chop. The crowds can show up on a day like this, so don't expect solitude.
After that Saturday blip, it’s back to the doldrums. The energy drops right off: Sunday, August 30 has a morning 4 ft south-west swell, also weak at 6 seconds, with cross-off wind making it rideable but nothing special.
Beyond that, from Monday, August 31 right through to Thursday, September 11, we’re looking at swell heights barely above zero – 0.3 ft to 1 ft at best. The energy readings are all single or low double digits, way below 100, which is basically flat. Combined energy values like 3, 1, or even 0 pop up plenty.
A quick note on the water: when we get that Saturday bump on the 29th, the water temperature is a warm 82°F. The anomaly is 4° warmer than average, which is very unusual – seriously warm water for the time of year.
The bottom line? There’s no standout session here, not even close. The whole 16-day window has one Saturday morning that’s just barely surfable. For the rest, you’re looking at a two-week gap with almost nothing. Don’t bother paddling out unless you’ve got a longboard and zero expectations. Forecasts can change, but this run looks normal for an area that goes flat.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
