The Lowdown
Alright, let me chew through this for Circoletto (Rome). I’m not gonna lie, it’s a rough 16 days ahead. The water is running hot at 85°F, which is 6°F warmer than usual, a real anomaly that makes it feel like a warm bath.
We don’t see anything worth paddling for until Tuesday, August 18th. Tuesday morning brings a tiny 3ft swell at 6 seconds out of the west, but onshore southwest winds at 9 mph ruin it. The combined energy sits at a weak (75). The afternoon sees 3ft at 6 seconds from the west-southwest, but again, onshore wind at 12 mph kills any chance of quality. Short-period, weak, messy – not your day.
Wednesday the 19th morning offers a glimmer: lighter, cross-offshore winds from the east-southeast at 9 mph, and a smaller 2ft west swell at 6 seconds. Combined energy is only (25). It’s clean on the surface, but there’s no push, no power. You might chase a closeout or two, but it’s barely ankle-to-knee high. The afternoon goes straight back to choppy.
The rest of the run is just more of the same low-grade dribble. On Monday, August 26th, the afternoon gets a 3ft short-period windswell at 5 seconds, combined energy (45), but it’s blowing 19 mph fresh breeze from the west-southwest, cross-onshore and lumpy. This is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing here at this beach-and-reef break.
The best combined energy we see is on Thursday morning, August 27th, at (108) – that’s moderate energy, finally. But it’s over a 3ft, 6-second south-southwest swell with a cross-onshore breeze at 16 mph, so it’s still bumpy and messy.
We’ve got a real dry spell from August 12th to the 17th, and then again from the 20th to the 25th, with barely a wave worth mentioning.
To wrap it up: the whole forecast is flat, weak, and wind-affected. No standout sessions. The best you can hope for is a clean but tiny wave on the morning of the 19th – but even that’s a stretch. It’s a quiet, frustrating period, and for this spot, that’s pretty normal.
