The Lowdown
Alright, grab ya board, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be real, for the next couple of weeks, we’re looking at a whole lotta nothing at Circoletto (Rome). It’s kinda heartbreaking, but the ocean does what it wants. The water’s sitting at a balmy 84° Fahrenheit, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year—that’s pretty wild to think about while we’re staring at flat, glassy conditions.
The immediate outlook is grim. From Friday the 14th through most of next week, we’ve got a serious flat spell. Friday the 14th starts off clean with a light offshore, but there’s zero swell. It’s a long, drawn-out gap. We’ll see a day or two with faint pulses, like on Tuesday the 18th when that weak 3ft of west swell shows up, but the energy is just pathetic (46). The winds are mostly onshore or cross, chopping up whatever slop tries to form. From Sunday the 16th through to around the 21st, it’s just soul-destroying. You’d be better off finding a pool.
There is a little light at the end of the tunnel though. We finally get a real pulse of swell on Saturday the 23rd, with the morning looking clean with a cross-offshore wind and 2ft of west swell. That’s something, at least. The energy starts to build, hitting 83 that Saturday morning, so it’s not totally dead. But the afternoons keep getting messed up by the cross-onshore winds.
Now, for the true standout. Mark your calendars for Thursday the 27th of August. That morning, the stars align. We’re looking at a solid 7ft of west swell with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is pumping—a massive 1047. That’s the one. The winds are light and cross-offshore, which means it’s going to be clean. The direction is perfect for this spot. This is not for the faint of heart. At 7ft, it’s way too big for beginners, and it’s getting into expert territory. Definitely leave the foamies at home for this one. It’s gonna be a proper session with some real power behind it. If you’ve got the skills, that Thursday morning is the standout.
After that, it fades back to smaller surf into the weekend. The long-range stuff looks promising but less certain, so keep your fingers crossed that this swell materializes as forecasted. For now, that one day is the whole story. We gonna have a blank stretch, but the ocean’s always plotting. Stay patient.
