The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the Rome area, specifically Circoletto (Rome).
Honestly, the next week and a half is a write-off. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with barely a ripple. From now through to around the 10th of September, it’s all tiny windswell – we’re talking 0.3ft to 1ft stuff with periods barely cracking 4 to 5 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak (3 to 11), and the water is a very unusual 84°F (that’s 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year). For a beach-and-reef setup that needs a proper SSW swell to line up, this is just a no-go.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Friday, the 11th of September. The morning brings a jump to 6ft from the W with a period of 7 seconds and a solid energy reading (448). The wind is offshore from the ESE, so it’ll be clean. But that swell is short-period and a bit lumpy for a spot that needs a specific direction – it’s a marginal call at best. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on breeze and an 8ft swell that’s too big for most and just chaotic.
There is one standout in this whole 16-day window, and it’s the morning of Tuesday, the 15th of September. The swell drops to a proper 4ft from the WSW with a 6-second period, and the energy settles to a moderate 222. The wind is light from the ENE, keeping it clean. The break is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets, but this is the best combo of size and conditions in the whole forecast. The water is still warm, but the crowds are likely here – it’s a known spot, so expect company.
The final flash of interest comes on Thursday, the 17th of September. The morning brings a 6ft swell from the WSW with a 7-second period and strong energy (337). The wind is offshore from the NE, so it’ll be clean and lined up. But it’s getting into the bigger range for a beach-and-reef, so it’s one for the experienced crew only. The afternoon sees a 6ft swell with the wind swinging onshore, which kills it.
So, bottom line: the first week is dead. The best bet is the morning of the 15th for a clean, manageable wave. The 17th has the size, but it’s for the experts. Don’t get your hopes up before that.
Rusty.
