The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get into it. The forecast for the Rome area is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window, but the honest truth is there’s next to nothing on offer. The only break in the running is Circoletto (Rome) and it’s inconsistent, only for advanced surfers, and the whole period looks flat as a pancake. There’s a big gap of no decent surf right from the start, and it just keeps going.
From now through the whole 16 days, the swell is tiny. We’re looking at heights mostly between 0.7ft and 3ft, with periods that are short and weak. The combined energy of all swells directed here is barely registering, often in the single digits – for example, on Sunday 6th September morning, the energy is only 59 (weak). There’s just no power to work with. The wind is all over the place, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no wave to ride.
The water temperature is seriously warm right now, at 84°F on the 30th of August, which is 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual.
For a few moments, like the morning of Monday 31st August, you get a clean look with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is only 2ft with a 6-second period. It’s just not enough to get excited about. The same story repeats through the whole period – a few glassy mornings (like the 2nd and 5th of September) with zero swell.
Honestly, this stretch is a write-off for surfing. The setup at Circoletto is a beach and reef, and with the swell being so weak and the wind occasionally cross-onshore, it looks more interesting for a kite surfer if the wind picks up, but for a paddle surfer, there’s nothing to chase. This kind of blank run is more normal for the area when the swell window isn’t lining up. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a big ol’ flat spell.
