The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch coming up for Ciammarita. We’ve got a long, dry spell before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a heartbreaker. From now until the morning of Friday the 11th of September, the surf is basically a write-off. That’s a solid gap of nearly two weeks with nothing but flat, weak, and messy conditions. The swell energy is tiny, often sitting at low numbers, and the winds are almost always cross-on or choppy. It’s not the time to be a surfer in this spot.
The only real flicker of life comes right at the tail end of the forecast. On Friday morning, the 11th of September, we finally see a pulse. The swell bumps up to about 3ft from the west with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 93. It’s weak, but it’s something. The wind is glassy from the southeast, which is a massive win for the surface. The waves will be clean, but the shape will be ordinary – it’s a beach setup, so that short period swell won’t offer much push. It’s a beginner-friendly wave size, but not a standout.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, Saturday the 12th of September morning is similar. Another 2ft west swell, glassy conditions, and energy at 53. It’s small, clean, and again, just ordinary. The following Sunday morning, the 13th of September, offers a little more size at about 3ft from the northwest, with a clean cross-off wind, but the energy is still just 80. It’s surfable, but not something you’d write home about.
There’s no true standout in this whole forecast. The best we get is a couple of glassy mornings with knee-high, weak waves. For a beginner who just wants to feel the glide, Friday the 11th and Sunday the 13th are your best bets. For anyone else, it’s a waiting game.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and don’t ship your board just yet. Things can change, but right now, it’s a quiet one.
Rusty.

Information about the Ciammarita Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ciammarita provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ciammarita can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ciammarita 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 (Ciammarita) 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 Ciammarita 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.
Ciammarita is 7 km (4 miles) from Partinico. If you plan a holiday in Sicily, look for hotels and other accommodation in Partinico. Partinico has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
