The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here, looking at the next couple of weeks for our local patch. Gotta be straight with you: it’s gonna be a tough slog. The forecast is looking pretty grim for a solid stretch, but hang tight, there might be a glimmer of hope way down the line.
Right now, we’re looking at Circoletto (Rome) , and honestly, it’s a frustrating picture. From Monday, August 31st, right through to the end of the first week of September, we’ve got almost nothing. Tiny, weak slop from the west, with periods as short as 3 seconds, producing barely any energy (combined energy of all swells directed here: 2 to 38). The water is a balmy 84°, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual – that’s very unusual, feels like a bath. But the surf? It’s just not there. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat days with no swell to speak of from the 5th through the 9th. That’s about five days of dead calm.
Then, on Thursday, September 10th, the morning shows a bit of a pulse. We see a 2 ft swell from the west with a 7-second period. That’s enough to get the energy reading up to 238. It’s a marginal forecast, but it’s the first real bump in the road. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it might be clean-ish, but given the swell direction and the beach-and-reef setup, it could be a bit of a mess. It’s not the standout, but it’s the only thing on the horizon for a while.
After that, it’s back to nearly nothing until Monday, September 14th. Now, this is the one to watch. Monday morning brings a 2 ft swell from the southeast, with a 5-second period, and a nice offshore wind from the northeast. The combined energy is 219, which is moderate. The wind is clean, and the conditions should be good. This is your best bet, but it’s still a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore, so it’s a morning mission only.
After that, Tuesday the 15th drops back to small, weak stuff. So, there you have it. A long, flat start, one mildly promising morning on the 10th, and a real shot at some decent waves on the morning of Monday, September 14th, at Circoletto. It’s an inconsistent spot, so this long wait isn’t that unusual. Keep the faith.
Rusty.
