The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Rome is in a rough patch – 16 days of barely any surf. The only spot to talk about is Circoletto (Rome) , a tricky beach-and-reef break for advanced surfers that’s inconsistent and needs a specific SSW swell to get good. That never shows, so we’re left with small, poor waves.
Starting Saturday, 29th August, you get a tiny 2ft W swell with a 6-second period and weak energy (31). Morning is glassy with ESE wind at 3 mph, so it looks clean but it’s still poor. Afternoon wind goes SW 15 mph onshore – messy. Sunday 30th is flat, glassy calm, 2ft at 5 seconds, energy 15, poor. The whole first week is tiny – Monday 31st has a cross-off from N 6 mph, still 2ft and 5 seconds. Tuesday into Wednesday, swells drop to 0.7ft or 1ft, energy as low as 1. No good.
There’s a tiny blip on Thursday 10th September. Morning has a 2ft W swell at 5 seconds, clean with E 9 mph cross-off winds, but weak energy (35). Then Thursday afternoon, the swell hits 5ft from WNW, 6-second period, moderate energy (128) – biggest of the outlook. But the wind is S 12 mph, cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s poor quality. After that, the second week fades to flat or 0.7ft waves.
Water is 84°, a huge 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual. You’ll be in boardshorts, but there’s nothing to ride.
No standout here. The cleanest shot is Thursday 10th morning, but only 2ft and weak. With the onshore winds, this setup looks better for kiteboarding. The break rarely fires anyway. Forecasts can shift, but right now it’s a total dud.
