The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet for the Rome stretch. There’s a whole lot of nothing on the cards for the first stretch, so don’t bother paddling out expecting much. We’re looking at a solid run of days with ankle-biters and no real push. The water is sitting at 84°, which is a good 5° warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s proper bathwater, but it doesn't make up for the lack of waves.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Monday the 17th. Before that, it’s a wasteland of tiny, weak swells. From Wednesday the 5th right through to Sunday the 16th, you’re looking at waves mostly under 2ft, with short, crumbly periods. There will be a few glassy mornings—like Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th with light winds—but with nothing behind them, it's just flat and clean. The afternoons are mostly cross-on and choppy, so not even a fun kick around. This is a long, dry spell, mate. Over a week and a half of it.
Now, Monday the 17th morning is the standout—and it’s all we get. A proper pulse of west swell pushes in at 7ft, with a 7-second period and moderate energy (680). It’s still a bit short-period, so it’ll be a bit walled-up and not the cleanest, but it’s the only real size we see. The wind is light cross from the SE, so it’s not ideal but it’s not a total blowout. The break to be at is Circoletto (Rome) — it’s a beach and reef set-up, exposed to the west swell. It’s an advanced spot, and with 7ft of swell, this is definitely too big for beginners. It’s a bit of a beast, and the short period means it’ll be lumpy, but for the experienced crew, it’s the only game in town. The swell direction is west, which isn’t its absolute optimum from the SSW, but it’s still the best we’ve got. This spot is inconsistent, so when it does fire, it’s worth the look. Crowds are often a factor here, so expect company.
The afternoon of the 17th is a letdown—the swell drops to 6ft and the wind swings onshore from the SW with a risk of storms. That’s a mess. After that, it’s back to small, weak surf through the 18th and 19th, with a brief bump to 3ft on Wednesday the 19th morning, but it’s just ordinary. The 20th has a clean morning with offshore NE wind and 2ft, but it’s not worth getting excited about.
So, there you have it. One solid day on the 17th, and a whole lot of flatness before and after. If you’re keen, mark that Monday on the calendar, but don’t hold your breath for anything else.
