The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Circoletto (Rome).
Honestly, this is a tough stretch. The 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a long, blank run ahead of us with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell energy is weak at best, and even then, the conditions are all over the shop. It’s one of those periods where the forecast can change, but right now, it’s looking like a whole lot of nothing.
The first spot we might look at is Circoletto (Rome). The water here is running at about 84°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. For Thursday the 27th of August, we’ve got a tiny 2ft south swell with a short period of 4 seconds. The energy is weak (14), and with a 16 mph cross-onshore wind, it’s just choppy and messy. The next few days are more of the same – small, weak swells with onshore winds making a mess of things. There’s a clean window on Friday morning the 28th with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is only 2ft with a period of 4 seconds – barely a ripple.
Through the weekend and into next week, the pattern holds. We see a few clean mornings, like Sunday the 30th with a tiny 1.0ft wave and light offshore winds, but there just isn’t enough swell to make it worth a session. The combined wave energy barely hits double digits. Even the slightly better-looking swell on Saturday the 5th of September – a 3ft swell from the west with a period of 6 seconds and a moderate energy of 40 – is ruined by a cross-onshore wind that will chop it up.
As we push into the second week, the second week of September, it’s the same story. There’s a moment on Wednesday the 9th of September with a glassy morning and a tiny 0.7ft swell – beautiful conditions, but the sea will be like a millpond. The most promising-looking window is Friday the 11th of September, where we see a 2ft south swell with a 6-second period and a clean morning with light offshore winds. The energy is still low at 32, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. Still, it’s not enough to get excited about.
To be blunt, this entire forecast is a bust. There’s nothing here for a surfer. For a spot that is inconsistent at the best of times, this run of flat, choppy, or just tiny surf is pretty normal for the area. It’s not going to stay this poor forever, but for now, leave the board in the car.
