The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. The models are showing a lot of small, weak energy and only a few fleeting moments where things might line up. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with no real standouts worth paddling out for.
Our only real option on the chart is Circoletto (Rome). The water is a whopping 84°F, which is 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual; you'll be surfacing feeling like you've had a warm bath. But the warmth is about the only upside here.
Starting out on Friday, August 28th, we see tiny 1ft swell out of the SSW with a weak, short 5-second period. The combined wave energy is a pitiful 13, which is barely a ripple. The cross-off wind in the morning might keep it looking tidy, but there’s just nothing to ride. This general theme of "poor surf conditions" runs for over a week. We see small pulses of 2ft to 2ft from the south and west through the end of August and into early September, but the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up whatever tiny bump exists. The combined energy rarely cracks 20. There are even several days from September 2nd through to the 7th with absolutely zero swell – a complete flat spell.
We finally get a tiny flicker of life on the morning of Tuesday, September 8th, with 1ft from the west and a bit of cross-shore wind, but the combined energy is only 6. That’s still a full-on flat spell as far as I’m concerned.
Our only window of moderate energy comes on the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. A 3ft west swell bumps the combined energy up to a more noticeable 78, with a 6-second period. The wind is forecast to be a clean cross-off from the SE. For a brief moment, it might look okay. But that swell direction (W) is opposite to the optimum SSW direction for this break, so the quality will be poor. Plus, there’s a risk of thunderstorms that morning. After that, the energy fades right back down. The very end of the period, on Saturday, September 12th, shows the biggest swell of the whole run: a 5ft W swell with a period of just 7 seconds and a combined energy hitting 215. But that's a Wednesday morning call from two weeks out, so it's a long-range look. Even if it shows, the onshore SW winds at 15-19 mph will turn it into a complete mess. Given the beach and reef setup, and those strong onshore winds pushing that west swell, this spot is honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
So, the reality is, from now through the 16-day window, the surf is almost non-existent. It’s the kind of quiet period that feels normal for this area – you just gotta wait for the forecasts to change. Keep an eye on that last weekend, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
