The Lowdown

Grab your board, but maybe leave it in the truck for a bit. We're looking at a long, flat spell here for Porto Ferro (Sardinia). The next week and a half is a total bust – tiny dribbles of swell and mostly poor conditions. There's a small window of hope way out there, but it's a long wait.

Right now, the water is 82°F – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least the wait won't be cold.

The 2nd of August through the 11th is basically a write-off. We're talking about swell heights barely cracking 2ft to 2ft, with combined energy levels often in the single digits or teens – you’re looking at weak, gutless energy (14 to 90). Winds are all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-off, and the wave comment across every session is "poor surf conditions." Don't bother.

Even the 12th of August only offers a glimmer. The morning has a 5ft NW swell, but it’s lumpy from a light cross-onshore wind. The energy jumps to a moderate 223, but the "marginal" score kills the vibe. Afternoon turns to junk with a 12 mph cross-onshore chop.

The 13th of August morning is the best on offer across the whole 16 days. We get a 3ft NW swell with glassy conditions – that’s clean. The energy is low at 61, and the waves are described as "surfable but very ordinary." Look, it’s not pumping, but it's the only clean, glassy window we get. Afternoon goes to hell with a 12 mph cross-onshore.

After that, it’s back to tiny, windy junk until the 17th of August. That Monday morning shows a pulse of 2ft WSW swell with an 8-second period under offshore winds. Clean, but weak (44 energy). A small consolation, but still not a standout.

Look, it's a tough outlook. Porto Ferro is an exposed reef that can be a magnet for NW swell, but this 16-day window is almost completely flat. Blank runs like this are more normal for the area in summer. Stay optimistic, though – forecasts change.

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.
