The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it.
To be brutally honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a serious flat spell on the cards. Looking at the charts for Circoletto (Rome), there’s a whole lot of nothing, and then a couple of tiny, weak pulses that will barely get you wet.
The first real sign of anything surfable doesn’t show up until the morning of the 30th of August. Even then, we’re only talking about a 3ft swell, coming from the west with a short 6-second period. It’s weak energy at 78, and the morning looks clean with a light NNE cross-offshore breeze, but honestly, it’s a knee-high dribbler at the absolute best. It’s got “surfable but ordinary” written all over it, and for a spot that’s already inconsistent, you’d be doing well to find a shoulder to yourself. It’s a beach and reef setup, exposed to the west, but the swell direction is a bit awkward and the lack of power is a real issue here.
After that, the ocean just goes back to sleep. We’re talking about the entire forecast window being a write-off. The guidance shows nothing but poor surf conditions right through to the 8th of September. There are a few glassy mornings, like the 1st of September, but no swell to go with them. With the water temp sitting at a very unusual 84°—a massive 3° warmer than average, which is freakish for the time of year—you’d be better off just going for a swim.
Honestly, for a wave that’s this inconsistent, a blank run like this is about par for the course. Don’t hold your breath. We need a serious change in the weather pattern to get this place going again. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say leave the board in the car.
