The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a tough stretch ahead for the Circoletto area. Let's be straight with you – this is a long, quiet run. The finder is showing a whole lot of nothing for the next couple of weeks, so don't be holding your breath for a quick fix.
The 16-day window opens with a real flat spell. From Tuesday 28th July right through to the end of the first week, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell. The water is sitting at a very warm 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only notable thing. That first Tuesday you’ve got a 1 ft S swell at 7 seconds, but it's cross-on and choppy, just a total write-off. Wednesday and Thursday are even smaller, with a few clean moments in the early morning on Wednesday with a NNE offshore breeze, but honestly, you’re fighting for a ripple. The combined energy is only 1 to 2 (weak). It’s a real flat spell, and if you’re a regular here, you know these blank runs can happen.
There’s a slight flicker near the end of the first week. Friday morning the 31st of July shows a tiny bump. A 3 ft, NW swell at 5 seconds, with a north wind making it cross-off and clean. The energy is still only 45 (weak) though, so it’s not exactly going to get the heart pumping. Not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate to get wet.
The second week is more of the same, honestly. A few glassy mornings with a 0.7 ft or 1 ft knee-high bump, but nothing that qualifies as a surfable wave. Then we get to Friday the 7th of August. The morning shows a 3 ft WSW swell at 5 seconds (energy 49 – still weak), but the afternoon kicks up. A 8 ft W swell at 8 seconds rolls in, with a combined energy of 601 (strong). That’s the biggest number we’ve seen. However, the wind is cross-on at 12 mph and the conditions are described as poor surf quality. That’s a lot of water moving around, but it’s going to be a messy, lumpy mess. At 8 ft, this is expert territory, and the wind is just going to rip it apart. It’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Saturday morning the 8th of August is your only real chance in the whole outlook. The swell drops to 5 ft from the WSW at 7 seconds, with a combined energy of 193 (moderate). The real winner here is the wind: a glassy NNW breeze at 3 mph. It’ll be clean and smooth. The quality is still just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but with the wind glassy, it’s the best of a bad lot. The break at Circoletto (Rome) is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the SSW, but the swell is coming from WSW, which is a bit off its optimum. It’s also inconsistent and rarely breaks, so it’s a gamble. The crowds are often there, so expect company. If you’re an advanced surfer and you’re desperate, hit the dawn patrol on Saturday the 8th of August. For the rest of us, the rest of the 16 days is a flat, windy, or tiny mess. Don’t get your hopes up.
Rusty out.
