The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the surf outlook for the next 16 days is a real struggle. We're looking at a long stretch of minimal to no swell, so don't get your hopes up for anything epic. The first recommendation isn't until August 4th, and even then, it's a tough sell.
The only spot on the radar is Circoletto (Rome). This is an advanced-level beach and reef setup that's exposed to a SSW swell, but it's inconsistent and rarely breaks. The water is sitting at a very unusual 83.1°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
From August 4th to the 6th, we're looking at tiny, weak swells, mostly under 1.3ft from the SW with a short period of 4-5 seconds. The combined wave energy is pathetic, barely registering (1-8). The winds are a mess, swinging from onshore to cross-off, but the waves are so small it doesn't even matter. The real kicker is that every single time slot is marked as "poor surf conditions." It's a write-off.
August 8th sees a slight bump, with a 2.3ft groundswell from the West, but still with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy finally hits 30, which is still weak. The morning on the 8th is clean with a light ESE cross-off, and the 9th and 10th have some glassy mornings, but the swell is totally gutless at 1.3ft and 1ft. Even with clean conditions, there's nothing to ride.
After the 10th, it's a total desert. There are long gaps of several days with absolutely no surf on offer. August 11th, 15th, and 16th are completely flat. You'll see a few flickers of life, like a 1.3ft NW groundswell on the 13th, but it's overrun by onshore winds in the afternoon and the energy is only 7. The pattern is the same: tiny, weak swells with poor quality.
Honestly, if you're a surfer, this is a time to fix your dings, watch the webcams, and wait. The conditions are more interesting for a kite surfer if they had any wind, but for a paddle surfer, there's just nothing doing. The blank run is pretty normal for this area in these conditions.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts. Things can change, but right now, it's a tough stretch.
