The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this stretch of coast is lookin’ pretty flat for the next two weeks. The swell window just isn’t cooperating, and we’ve got a long run of tiny, weak waves ahead. Let’s break it down.
We’re starting with Bagni Fiume or La Buca, a reef break that’s strictly for advanced surfers. The water’s sitting at 81°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year—over 7° above average, so you’ll be sweating in your wetsuit, if you even wear one. Sunday morning, September 6th, there’s a tiny 0.3m (1ft) swell from the WSW, with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 7 (weak). The wind is offshore and light, so it’s clean, but there’s just not enough juice. That afternoon, it gets a cross-on shore, and it’s still poor. The whole week is a write-off: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday—all days show either no swell or tiny, weak pulses (0.2m to 0.4m, or 0.7ft to 1ft) with combined energy rarely breaking 30. The wind is often favourable (offshore or glassy), but you can’t surf what isn’t there.
The only flicker of something happens Tuesday, September 15th, in the afternoon. The swell bumps up to 0.6m (2ft) from the WSW, period 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 41 (still weak). The wind is cross-off and light, keeping it clean, and the comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s your best, and it’s not saying much. For the rest of the run, we’re looking at 0.1m to 0.4m (0.3ft to 1ft), periods under 8 seconds, and energy levels that barely hit double digits. There’s a gap from September 20th onward where there’s literally no swell at all.
Look, this spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a classic example of a blank run. The wind is often clean, but the swell just isn’t there. If you’re desperate, you could paddle out on the 15th for a few knee-high sliders, but don’t expect much. Other than that, this is a solid two-week lull. Take a break, check the charts next week, and hope the forecasts change.
Rusty.
