The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty quiet stretch for us. The surf is going to be very small for the foreseeable future, and there's a lot of flat spells mixed in. The only real spot worth a mention is the breakwater at Adria. The water here is sitting at 82°, which is a massive 5° warmer than we'd expect for this time of year—so you're getting a bath, not a sea.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are almost flat, with tiny waves barely reaching 0.7ft. We get a little bump on the morning of Saturday the 29th with a 1ft swell from the south, but the cross-off wind from the WSW will keep it clean. The energy is next to nothing though (2). It's the same story Sunday and Monday—just tiny, ankle-biters.
We hit a real dead zone from Tuesday the 1st of September through to the morning of Tuesday the 8th. There are days with absolutely no waves at all. It's a long, flat stretch.
The first sign of something happening comes on the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. The swell picks up to 3ft from the ENE with a 6-second period. The wave energy climbs to 65 (moderate), and the wind is a clean cross-off from the WSW. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. The breakwater is fairly exposed to this swell, and the optimum direction is from the SE, so that ENE swell is a bit off-angle. It's something to paddle out for, but don't expect any magic.
After that, it's back to tiny, weak waves for the rest of the forecast. The morning of Thursday the 11th has a 0.7ft swell from the ESE with a clean cross-off from the NW, but it's just not enough to get excited about.
So, the one standout? That Wednesday the 9th of September morning. It's not a classic, but it's the only window with a wave that has a bit of push. The 3ft swell from the ENE with clean cross-off wind is the best on offer. Don't hold your breath for the rest of the run.
Rusty.

Information about the Adria Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Adria provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Adria can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Adria 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 (Adria) 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 Adria 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.
Adria is 17 km (11 miles) from the city of Comacchio. If you plan a holiday in Adriatic - Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Comacchio. Comacchio has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
