The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again for the imperial crew, and I’ll give it to you straight – this 16-day window for the Rome area is a dud. We’re looking at a serious dry spell for the first week and a half, and what little pops up later is going to be rough.
The water is really something though. At Circoletto (Rome), it's 84°F, which is a full 6°F warmer than usual for late August. That’s pretty wild.
So let’s break it down. Starting right now, on Friday the 28th of August, through to Wednesday the 10th of September, it’s flat and forgettable. The swell is tiny, the energy numbers are all in the weak range. Thursday the 10th of September morning shows a pulse of 2ft from the SSW, but the energy is still weak at 28. Not enough to get on.
The only real pulse of energy hits on Friday the 11th of September. In the morning we get a cross-shore wind with 4ft of SSW swell, period a short 6 seconds. The energy climbs to 111 – moderate – but it’s still rated as poor conditions. The afternoon gets bigger: 6ft from the W, period 7 seconds, with the combined energy hitting a strong 401. That’s a lot of water moving, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the SSE at 16 mph, making it a choppy mess. At Circoletto, a beach and reef setup, that’s more of a kite-surfing day than a good paddle. It’s big enough to be expert-only, but the quality is total rubbish.
Saturday the 12th of September morning holds 4ft from the W, but again it’s cross-shore and lumpy with a moderate 132 energy. It fades out in the afternoon. There are no true standouts in this whole 16-day stretch. When the forecast goes this blank for this long, it’s not unusual for this area.
Keep the board in the car for a better day.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Circoletto (Rome) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
