The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’re looking at the next couple of weeks for the Rome area, and I gotta be honest with you – it’s a grim stretch for surf. The wave energy is just not there. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for over a week, so don’t even bother waxing up your board just yet.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t come until Saturday the 22nd of August. Yeah, you read that right. We’ve got a gap of about 10 days with basically nothing. The combined swell energy is sitting at zero or single digits for most of that time, with tiny, short-period windswell that’s just not gonna do anything.
Let’s talk about the one day that might get your heart pumping a little. On the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August, Circoletto (Rome) might actually see a pulse. The guidance shows a clean 3ft swell from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 69 – that’s still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. The wind will be light and offshore from the ENE, which is a huge plus. That means the beach and reef setup could actually be clean and rideable for a short while. But don’t get too excited; the afternoon turns onshore from the SW, killing it.
The water temperature is a standout. The first record shows it at 84°F, which is a massive 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you won’t need a wetsuit, that’s for sure.
If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 5ft during this period, so there’s no danger there. For the advanced crew, it’s just a matter of waiting for that one morning on the 22nd. The swell direction is west, which is off the optimum SSW direction for this spot, but with light offshore winds, it might still offer a few fun little waves. Crowds are often a problem here, so expect some company.
Honestly, if you’re looking for paddle surf, this is a tough outlook. The setup looks far more interesting for a kite session if the wind is up. For now, that Saturday morning is the only real window, and it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the charts.
Rusty.
