The Lowdown
Alright, let's be real with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for waves. We've got a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions ahead, so don't get your hopes up too early. There’s a solid gap of nothing on offer for the first few days, and the energy just isn't there.
The first real pulse shows up on Thursday the 17th. We'll see some west swell push in around 5ft, but it's short-period and has a cross-on breeze, so it's going to be lumpy and uninviting. Then the wind picks up more with a thunderstorm risk in the afternoon. That's a no-go.
We drop right back off after that, and it’s a waiting game again. There's a glimmer of life on the 22nd, but it’s still small and wind-shifty. Not worth the drive.
Then comes the one to circle: the morning of Thursday the 24th. The swell is up to 6ft from the west, with a light, clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is strong and the call is for good surf. That's your window. It’s more than a week away, so don’t book it in stone yet, but it’s the best chance we’ve got for a proper session. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so a spring suit will do.
The afternoon is a bit more iffy with the wind turning onshore, so you’ll want to be on it early.
So, the summary: a lot of flat days, one poor and windy effort, and one solid morning of hope next Thursday. Keep the quiver ready, and don't forget to check back in.

Information about the Portigliolo Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Portigliolo provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Portigliolo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Portigliolo 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 (Portigliolo) 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 Portigliolo 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.
Portigliolo is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Propriano. If you plan a holiday in Corsica, look for hotels and other accommodation in Propriano. Propriano has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
