The Lowdown
Mate, I'm gonna level with you. Sometimes the ocean just doesn't cooperate, and this is one of those times. For the next 16 days, the outlook for the Rome area, specifically Circoletto (Rome), is pretty grim. I've scanned every single morning and afternoon slot from now through to the 28th of August, and there's not a single session that's worth paddling out for.
Every single entry in the forecast comes back as "poor surf conditions," with scores of zero. The swell energy is basically non-existent – we're looking at a combined energy total of 0 most days, and the highest it gets is a measly 114 (moderate wave energy) on the 26th of August, but even then the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, the period is short, and the quality is shot. The swell direction is all over the place – WNW, WSW, SSW – and never once matches the optimum direction for this spot, which is SSW. That's a real problem.
Now, there are a few mornings where the wind is light, offshore, or even glassy, like the 17th of August Tuesday morning, the 20th of August Thursday morning, and the 21st of August Friday morning. But without any swell to work with – the swell height is zero or just a tiny bump – it's a flat, clean lake, not a surf break. The water temperature isn't mentioned in the detail, so I can't tell you if it's unusual.
A few of the breaks in the area are described as "inconsistent," which does happen here. This isn't a place that fires all the time. So, a blank run like this? It's not totally out of the blue. But it's frustrating. The strongest energy we see is on the 26th of August, with that 4ft swell from the south-southwest, but the wind is a strong cross-shore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
Hang in there, friends. It's a slow period, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on the sky.
Stay frothy,
Rusty
