The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Circoletto (Rome) over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty grim for most of it. We’ve got a real flat spell on the cards, with hardly any surfable energy showing up.
The water is sitting at a very warm 84°F and that’s a massive 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s like swimming in a bath, but unfortunately, there’s nothing to ride in it for a while.
We’re looking at a long, dry gap right from the start. The first real chance to get wet doesn't come until the morning of Tuesday, 18 August. Before that, it’s just tiny, wind-affected ripples. On Tuesday morning, we’ll see a small 3ft swell from the west with a period of 6 seconds, weak energy (77). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surf will be clean, but it’s not going to get the heart racing. That afternoon, the wind shifts and kills it.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Wednesday and Thursday are tiny, Friday and Saturday are poor. The next real blip on the radar is the morning of Sunday, 23 August. We get a clean, offshore wind from the ENE at 6 mph, but the swell is a puny 2ft from the south (16 energy). Barely worth the paddle.
The strongest swell of the whole outlook shows up on the morning of Tuesday, 25 August. It’s a 7ft swell from the west – that’s a heap of water (751 energy) – but the period is a short 7 seconds, and it’s coming with a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore wind from the SSE. That’s a no-go for paddle surfing; it’s going to be a lumpy, windy mess. That setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything with a paddle.
The absolute best option, and it’s a weak one, lands on the morning of Sunday, 30 August. We get a 3ft swell from the SSW with a 7-second period and a clean offshore wind from the NE at 6 mph. The surf will be clean, but the energy is low (89). It’s tiny, it’s inconsistent, and for an advanced spot that rarely breaks well, it’s a real tease.
So, to sum it up: there’s not a single standout session in this 16-day window. The only mornings that even look surfable are the 18th and the 30th, and even then, you’re scratching for a knee-high wave. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on that 30 August morning, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
