The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cooking for the Rome area.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a slow burn. We're looking at a big gap of about six days right at the start where there's just nothing worthwhile. The first chance to even get wet doesn't come until Sunday the 30th of August at Circoletto (Rome), and it's nothing to write home about.
The first real pulse happens on the morning of Sunday the 30th. It's a small 3ft west swell with a short period, so you won't get much push. The wind is a light offshore from the NE, so it'll be glassy, but the combined energy is only 78 (weak). It's a paddle, not a performance session.
Then we get another dry spell. Tuesday the 2nd of September morning brings a 3ft west swell, but it's cross-onshore and messy. The energy is moderate at 107, but the conditions are just not there.
Now, the one that's got my blood pumping. Friday the 4th of September morning. This is the only true standout in the whole 16-day window. The swell is a solid 8ft from the west, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 789. The wind is a light, glassy offshore from the NE. That's a recipe for clean, powerful, and hollow waves. The water temp is 84°, which is a huge 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual, so you'll be surfing in bathwater. This is a beach and reef break, so with that size, it's strictly for experienced surfers. Watch out for the crowds, as they are often an issue here.
After that, it drops off. Saturday the 5th of September is a total write-off with strong onshore winds, and the following days are just small, choppy leftovers. The morning of Monday the 7th of September has a clean 4ft west swell with a light offshore, but it's only surfable, not special.
So, bottom line: the whole block is a slow start, but the morning of Friday the 4th of September is the one to circle on the calendar. That's the session for the advanced crew. The rest is just small windows and onshore slop.
Rusty.
