Circoletto (Rome) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Rome coastline over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for Circoletto (Rome). The whole 16-day stretch is a desert. There’s barely a ripple worth paddling for, and the few times a little pulse shows up, the conditions are just plain ugly. The water is sitting at 82°, which is a wild 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, like the sea forgot it’s September.

The first real chance to even get wet comes on Saturday morning, 12th September. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the WSW, with a period of just 6 seconds – that’s short, weak windswell, not much grunt behind it. The combined energy is a measly 64 (weak energy). But the wind is offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, so the surface will be clean. It’s surfable, but only just – and it’s not going to be anything to write home about. The break is inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, and it’s often crowded, so don’t expect a quiet peak.

After that Saturday morning window, it’s back to nothing. The next few days are dead flat, with zero energy and mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes. Sunday morning the 13th has a tiny 2ft with offshore wind, but it’s basically a dribble. From Monday the 14th through to the end of the 16-day window, it’s almost entirely flat. There’s a few tiny 0.7ft pulses here and there, but nothing that’s going to get you out of bed.

The only standout – and I use that word loosely – is that Saturday morning, 12th September. It’s the only time the stars sort of align with a clean offshore wind and a tiny bit of swell. But even then, it’s a 3ft, 6-second windswell, so don’t expect much push. It’s a typical lull for this area when it goes quiet, it really goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, pack a board for the lake or a kite, because the surf is a no-go for the entire period.
