Table - best surf conditions forecast for Circoletto (Rome) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for the Rome area.
Honestly, I'm looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead. For the next two weeks, there’s not a single day that gets the nod as a proper surf session. The big picture is that this is a classic summer flat spell for the region. The swell energy is just not there, and when a little bump shows up, the wind is usually on it or it’s too small to do anything with.
Right now, from July 12th right through to the 24th of July, you’re looking at a massive dry spell. That's nearly two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for. We get tiny bumps of 0.7 ft to 2 ft from the SSW and later the WNW, with combined wave energy often sitting in the single digits or low twenties (like 2, 10, 27). The wind is rarely your friend, mostly cross-off or onshore, except for a few glassy mornings on the 14th and 16th, but the swell is basically zero.
There is one date that catches the eye, but it's a long way off. Sunday, July 26th shows a bit of promise for Circoletto (Rome). The morning is looking at a 5 ft swell from the west with a 7-second period. That's not a groundswell, but the combined energy reads at a moderate 299, which is the highest we see in the whole period. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE at 12 mph, which will keep the faces tidy. But here's the thing – that 5 ft is right on the edge of what's fun for an advanced spot, and it’s still a long-range call, so treat it as promising but not locked in. After that morning window, the wind swings onshore in the afternoon, so you'd need to be on it early.
For the break itself, Circoletto (Rome) is a beach and reef setup, inconsistent, and can pull a crowd often, so expect company if it does come together. With that west swell and a NNE wind, it should be workable for the advanced crew looking for a clean bank. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 80°F, which is 5° warmer than normal for the time of year, so you can ditch the wetsuit for sure.
Bottom line: sit tight for two weeks, watch the charts for that July 26th window, and don't hold your breath before then.
Rusty.
