The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast for Carrubo is pretty grim for the next couple of weeks. There’s nothing really on the cards for surfers, but let’s walk through it so you know what we’re dealing with.
We’re looking at a long, bleak stretch with very little to get excited about. The water is a toasty 85°F – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, more than 5°F above the norm, which is very unusual.
The first few days are a total write-off. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of July have almost no swell energy, with the combined energy reading just 1 or 2 (weak). Winds are cross or cross-onshore, and the surf is just poor. Saturday the 25th isn’t any better. This pattern of tiny, weak swell and poor conditions drags on through Sunday the 26th, when we finally see a tiny bump – 1ft to 3ft swell from the SSW, but with a short period of 4-5 seconds and a moderate cross-onshore breeze. The energy is still weak (43). It’s not surfable.
Monday the 27th of July brings the biggest swell of the whole outlook: 4ft to 5ft from the SSW, with a period creeping up to 7-8 seconds. The combined energy hits 214 (moderate). But here’s the kicker – the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the forecast still calls it “poor surf conditions.” It’s just not clean.
Tuesday the 28th of July morning is a cruel tease. We get a glassy morning with a light NW wind and 2ft of SSW swell. The energy is low (26), the period is short (6 seconds), and it’s still classed as poor. Tuesday afternoon goes back to choppy mess.
From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to Friday the 7th of August, the swell drops to almost nothing. Day after day of 0ft to 0.7ft, periods of 3-5 seconds, and combined energy mostly 0-3. There are a few clean mornings with glassy or light offshore winds (like the 31st of July, 1st of August, and 5th of August), but there’s just no wave to ride. It’s flat.
So, to be honest, there is no standout session. There is no best on offer. The whole 16-day window is a dud for surfing at Carrubo. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is an unusual run of nothing. Conditions like this are more interesting for paddleboarding or a swim than for a surf. Keep your board in the car and your eyes on the forecast – it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.

Information about the Carrubo Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Carrubo provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Carrubo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Carrubo 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 (Carrubo) 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 Carrubo 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.
Carrubo is 10 km (6 miles) from Sabaudia. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sabaudia. Sabaudia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
