The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for the Rome area. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long, dry stretch with nothing worth paddling out for until the very end.
We start off on Sunday, July 26th, with a bit of a tease. There’s a 4ft south swell at Circoletto (Rome), but with a short, weak period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of only 148 (moderate), it’s already looking messy. That cross-shore wind at 19 mph is ruining any chance of a clean wave. It’s a beach and reef set-up, but honestly, the conditions are so poor it’s looking more like a kite session than a surf.
The rest of July and the first week of August are a total write-off. We’re talking days of flat, tiny surf with hardly any energy – combined energy values down to single digits, like 2 or 1. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but that’s cold comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
There’s a brief glimmer on Monday, July 28th, with a clean morning and some 2ft west swell, but it’s barely a ripple. The wind is light and offshore from the NNE, which is a positive, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The rest of the week is plagued by onshore and cross-shore winds, keeping the surf junky.
We finally get a pulse of energy on the 9th of August. A 3ft WSW swell shows up Sunday afternoon, with a combined energy of 42 (weak), but it’s blown out by a 9 mph onshore wind. The real hope, the only standout in this entire forecast, is Monday, August 10th. That’s over two weeks away, so keep your expectations in check, but it’s the only thing on the radar. The morning is looking glassy with a slight air, and a 5ft swell from the WSW with a 6-second period and combined energy of 165 (moderate). The wind is calm, so it should be clean. At 5ft, it’s not too big for most, but with that short period, it’ll be a bit weak and lumpy. Still, it’s the best offer we’ve got.
For the rest of the time, there’s just nothing. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the summer pattern sets in. Don’t bother checking the charts every day. Just keep your board waxed and hope the models change. This is a waiting game.
Rusty.
