The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Porto Ferro over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a slow period. The first solid chance to get wet doesn’t show up until the morning of Friday, 24 July, and even then it’s just a small window. We’ve got a long, flat run from now until then, with nothing but tiny, unrideable bumps and glassy conditions that look better for a paddle than a surf.
The standout morning is Friday, 24 July. We get a NW swell pushing in at about 4 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 127, and we’ve got an offshore wind from the east at 6 mph. That’s clean, face. It’s a reef break, so it’ll handle that short period better than a beach. Consistency is inconsistent, but for this region, that’s the best we’re going to see. It’s also a beginner-friendly break, so don’t be scared.
After that, it drops off quickly. The Friday afternoon sees the swell back down to 3 ft, and the rest of the days are full of small, choppy, or onshore slop. The morning of Thursday, 30 July has a tiny 1 ft SW swell with a 7-second period, and glassy conditions (21 combined energy), but it’s marginal. The first week of August sees a bit more size, with Sunday, 02 August afternoon showing a 4 ft NW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph and choppy, so it’s not a recommendation.
If you’re a beginner, the Friday morning is your best bet. If you’re an expert, the lack of size and clean windows is a bummer. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s mostly a lake out there. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
Rusty.

Information about the Porto Ferro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Porto Ferro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Porto Ferro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Porto Ferro 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 (Porto Ferro) 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 Porto Ferro 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.
Porto Ferro is 16 km (10 miles) from Alghero. If you plan a holiday in Sardinia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Alghero. Alghero has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
