The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our little corner of the coast, Carrubo. I gotta be straight with you – it’s been a tough stretch and it’s going to stay that way for a long while. We’re looking at a massive dry spell, nearly two weeks of flat, messy, or just plain hopeless conditions before the ocean finally remembers how to work.
For the first 12 days, from the 17th of August through to the morning of the 29th, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. You’ll see tiny bumps showing up on the 19th and 22nd, but with combined wave energy barely hitting double digits (peak of 27), and short period wind slop, it’s not surf. It's a lake with a bad attitude. The wind is all over the place – glassy mornings get wiped out by afternoon onshores, and what little swell there is just can't find any power. It’s one of those blank runs that can feel pretty normal for this area when the patterns don’t line up. Just leave the boards in the car.
Now, mark your calendars for Sunday morning, the 30th of August. That’s the one real standout we’ve got. Carrubo wakes up with a clean 5ft swell (315 combined energy) coming from the SSW. The period is a meagre 8 seconds, so it’s not groundswell with any real grunt or shape, but the wind is glassy – dead calm, slight air from the NNE. That means the surface is going to be as clean as a whistle. For a beach break like this, that long, clean window is a massive positive. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 85°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – like taking a bath. The wave heights are in the beginner-friendly range. Don't expect barrels, just pushable little lines.
The afternoon gets chopped up by a 12 mph cross-shore, so the quality fades fast. After that, it’s back to tiny or non-existent waves through the first of September.
In short: one little window of hope on the 30th morning, but it’s a long wait for it. Keep an eye on it, because forecasts can change, but for now, that’s the only show in town.
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.
