The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Rome area over the next few weeks. To be brutally honest, this is a tough run to read. The swell is tiny, the energy is barely registering, and most of the time the wind is doing us no favours. We’ve got a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions, especially through the middle of the period, and it’s not until a whole week out that we see a glimmer of something rideable.
Let’s start with the only real pulse of energy in the whole forecast, and that comes around Monday the 24th of August. Circoletto (Rome) might see a bit of a lift, with a swell pushing 4 ft from the west early that morning. The combined energy gets up to 126 (moderate wave energy) and the wind is out of the ESE at 12 mph, blowing cross-offshore, which should keep things reasonably clean. That’s your best bet across the entire window, but don’t get too excited – it’s still not going to be great. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly, and this spot is a beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting around. Because it’s over 5 ft? No, just under. Still, for an advanced surfer, it’s the only day worth a look. There will likely be crowds here often, so expect company.
Before that, the week leading up is grim. Saturday the 15th through Sunday the 23rd is mostly flat or ankle-snappers with poor quality. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F at the start, which is 5°F warmer than normal – much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you’ll be comfortable waiting for nothing.
After the 24th, Tuesday the 25th onward drops right back to tiny, weak leftovers. A few mornings on the 26th, 27th, and 28th of August have glassy or light offshore winds, but the swell is barely a ripple – 1 ft, if anything at all. Not worth paddling out for.
The standout here, and really the only one, is the Monday morning of the 24th of August, with that small west swell. It’s not big, but it’s the closest to a surfable wave in a sea of flatness. Keep your expectations on the floor, mate.
