The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, dribbly nothing, so don’t be holding your breath for any fireworks.
The only break on the radar is Circoletto (Rome). Right now, it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, which is the story of the whole period. The water is a whopping 84°—that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so the sea feels like a bath.
Looking at Sunday the 9th, we’ve got a tiny 0.7 ft swell from the west, but it’s being cross-onshore with a 12 mph wind, making it choppy and basically unsurfable. The combined energy is a measly 2 (weak), so don’t bother.
Through Monday the 10th to Wednesday the 12th, the mornings offer light offshore or cross-off breezes, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft to 1 ft with periods of 2 to 4 seconds. That’s not even a ripple. The afternoons get blown out by cross-onshore winds. This is a blank run.
Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th? Same story. Mornings are clean but flat, afternoons are choppy and flat. No energy at all.
We hit a dead zone from Saturday the 15th all the way through to Tuesday the 18th. Zero swell. The only thing happening is the wind. On the morning of Sunday the 16th, we get glassy conditions, but there’s nothing to ride. It’s a total gap of about 4 days with no recommendations.
Things barely tickle back to life on Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th. We’re looking at 0.7 ft to 1 ft from the west-northwest, with periods up to 4 seconds. The best looking slot is Thursday morning the 20th: a clean 1 ft with a light offshore from the NNE. But with energy values of 2 or 5, it’s still gutless. Not a stand-out, just the least terrible option.
Beyond that, the 22nd and 24th show a tiny bump—2 ft on the afternoon of the 24th, but it’s cross-onshore at 16 mph, so it’s messy as hell. The energy finally hits 11 (weak), but with a period of 4 seconds, it’s just wind chop.
Honestly, this is a barren run. The break is a beach and reef setup, but with such tiny, weak swell and strong afternoon winds, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Don’t get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.
