The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the Rome coastline over the next couple of weeks. I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first proper surf recommendation doesn’t show up until the very end of the run, and even then it’s a small one.
Let’s break it down. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a desert. From Tuesday the 25th of August right through to the end of the first week of September, it’s basically flat or tiny, with the winds often onshore or cross-onshore adding chop to the mix. You’ll get a few glassy mornings, like Monday the 31st of August and Thursday the 3rd of September, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The combined energy of all swells is almost non-existent, often sitting at single-digit values, which tells you everything.
The real drama is the water temperature. When we look at Circoletto (Rome) on that first day, the water is sitting at a very warm 84°F, which is a full 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a massive anomaly, so you’re looking at bathwater conditions, but with no waves to enjoy it.
The only faint glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 8th of September. Tuesday morning we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 5 seconds. That’s short-period, weak stuff, but the wind is offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The combined energy reading is 15, which is still very weak. It’s a small, clean option for the absolute die-hards who just need to get wet. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind switches to a light cross-onshore, so the morning is the only window.
Honestly, for most of this period, you’re better off doing something else. The setup is so small and weak that it’s not even worth calling it a surf. With the onshore winds and small chop, it looks more like a kiteboarding wind-lull than anything for a paddle surfer.
This is Rusty, signing off. Hang in there, the forecasts can change.
