The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next two weeks around Circoletto (Rome) are a tough stretch for anyone chasing waves. This is a beach-and-reef setup, and it’s been inconsistent for a while, so I’m not surprised to see a long, quiet run. We’ve got a few tiny windows, but nothing that’s going to get your heart racing.
The first bit of swell worth mentioning doesn’t arrive until the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. We’re looking at a small 3ft swell out of the west, with a short period of just 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (76). The wind is a cross-off from the east at 9 mph, which should keep the surface fairly clean. The water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s surfable, but only just. Conditions turn straight away by Tuesday afternoon as the wind swings southerly and bumps it up.
We then hit a big gap. From Wednesday the 19th through to Sunday the 24th of August, the swell drops to almost nothing – we’re talking 0.7ft to 2ft with basically no energy. It’s a flat spell. Don’t bother paddling out.
The next thing to pay attention to comes on Tuesday the 25th of August. The swell starts to build again, but the quality is poor. On Tuesday morning, we’ve got a 4ft west swell with a 5-second period, and combined energy of 84. The wind is screaming from the southeast at 25 mph, creating a strong cross-shore mess. That afternoon, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the west-southwest, with the period ticking up to 7 seconds and the combined energy hitting moderate levels (207). But the wind shifts to a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, those conditions are more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing. That’s the only small “pulse” of energy in the whole period, and it’s not clean.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From Wednesday the 26th of August right through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday the 2nd of September, we’re mostly looking at flat or tiny, poor-quality surf. The swell heights are under 2ft, periods are short, and the combined energy rarely gets above 30. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions or clean surfaces, but with no real swell behind them, it’s a waste of a good wind.
Bottom line: this is a blank run, and it’s pretty normal for this spot given how inconsistent it is. Don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but for now, save your energy.
Rusty.
