The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one for the Rome area. The Circoletto (Rome) spot is a beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent and exposed to SSW swell, but we’re looking at a 16-day window that’s almost entirely flat or tiny, with dodgy wind. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F, which is a massive 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a bath.
The first week is a total write-off. From Saturday 1st August right through to Saturday 8th, the swell barely registers. Mornings might offer a glimpse of clean conditions, with light ENE or NE breezes, but the waves are tiny – 2ft at best on Saturday morning, but with a short 5-second period from the WNW and poor surf quality. The combined energy is only 16 – that’s weak energy. There’s nothing to paddle for. The afternoons are even worse, with onshore WSW winds and flat surf. This pattern of poor surf continues. There’s a gap of several days here with no real recommendations at all.
We get a brief moment of glassy conditions on Sunday 9th August morning – calm wind, glassy. But the swell is only 1.0ft from the west with a 5-second period, and combined energy of 6. It’s clean but not rideable. The following week, from Monday 10th to Sunday 16th, is more of the same. The best we see is a tiny 0.7ft on Wednesday 12th morning with a light offshore NE breeze at 15 km/h, keeping the surface clean. But the period is only 3 seconds and combined energy is 1. It’s not surfable. The 16th August Sunday morning has a 0.3ft swell with a 9-second period, but wind is cross-shore at 20 km/h – messy.
Honestly, there are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window. The Circoletto is rarely breaking, and when it does, it’s ankle-deep with no power. This is a stretch where the spot just goes quiet. For the area, a blank run like this is more normal than you’d hope, but don’t lose heart – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
