The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days around Circoletto (Rome) are a quiet stretch. The swell is tiny, and the conditions are messy for most of the run. Let’s take it day by day.
We’re kicking off Monday the 20th of July with absolutely nothing. A 0.3ft, 4-second windswell from the SW is barely a ripple, and the combined energy is a weak 1. The water is 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 6° above average, so it feels like a bath out there. The wind is light and cross-shore, but it’s not bringing any real surf. The whole first week drags on with poor surf conditions. Tuesday morning the 21st goes glassy, but again only 0.3ft. Wednesday morning the 22nd has a tiny 0.7ft with a clean offshore NNE breeze, but it’s just not enough to ride. Thursday the 23rd morning is clean offshore again, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft. Friday the 24th morning has a moderate offshore wind from the NE, but the swell is still 1ft. The energy is weak across the board – 1 to 9 on the energy scale. Nothing worth paddling out for.
The weekend of the 25th and 26th of July is a write-off. Saturday the 25th has a 0.7ft ESE windswell with a cross-offshore breeze in the morning, but it’s tiny. Sunday the 26th is a mess with a fresh cross-onshore wind at 22 mph and zero swell. The whole first week is a blank.
The second week doesn’t bring much hope. From Monday the 27th to Friday the 31st of July, we’re looking at the same story: tiny 0.7ft to 1ft swells, weak energy (1 to 5), and winds that are mostly cross-onshore or onshore. A few glassy mornings pop up, like Wednesday the 29th and Friday the 31st, but the swell is still flat. The break is inconsistent and rarely breaks in these conditions, and it’s only for advanced surfers when it does.
There is one flicker of life on Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning shows a 0.3ft swell from the W with a period of 9 seconds – that’s a longer period for this tiny height, but it’s still a weak 3 energy. The surprise is the afternoon: a 4ft swell from the WSW with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 101 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, which chops it up a bit. This is the only real swell of the whole forecast, but it’s short-period and the wind isn’t ideal. It’s not a standout – just a brief moment where the ocean wakes up. For a break that’s a beach and reef setup, this short-period swell won’t shape up well, and the cross-onshore wind will make it lumpy. It’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Overall, it’s a tough run. The area is known for long flat spells, and this is one of them. Don’t hold your breath. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this poor forever. Rusty out.
