The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the Rome region over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at this forecast and my heart sinks a little. We've got a solid 16-day window, but the surf is basically a no-show. The first recommendation doesn't even pop up until Wednesday the 26th of August, and even then, it's a tough sell. The whole stretch from now through to Thursday the 10th of September is just a flat, sad story, with a few days around the 5th and 6th of September having absolutely zero energy at all. For an exposed spot like Circoletto (Rome) , this is a real bummer.
The only break we've got to talk about is Circoletto, a beach and reef setup that's really for the advanced crew. It's inconsistent, and it often gets crowded. The water is a crazy 84°, which is 6° warmer than normal for this time of year—very unusual, you’d be sweating in a spring suit. The real issue is the swell. It's almost non-existent. We're looking at tiny 2ft waves from the W or SW with periods of just 5 to 6 seconds, which is weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy barely reaches 24, which is weak. It's not enough to push a floatie, let alone a surfboard.
The best of a very bad bunch looks like Wednesday morning, 26 August. We've got a tiny 2ft swell from the west, but the wind is light offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, which will keep the surface glassy. The energy is a pathetic 24, but it's the only window where the conditions are clean. Still, "poor surf conditions" is the official word, and I'm not arguing. You'd be scratching for anything rideable.
The rest of the period is a write-off. There are a few mornings with clean conditions and light offshore winds, like the 27th and 30th of August, and the 3rd and 5th of September, but the swell is either flat or so small it's laughable—0.3ft or 0.7ft with virtually no energy. It's a kite surfer's dream with those consistent cross-onshore winds in the afternoons, but for us paddle surfers, the board stays in the car.
So, there it is. A long, dry spell ahead. The forecasts might change, but for now, this is a tough stretch for the Rome coast. Keep the wax warm and hope for better days.
