The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for the Rome area. Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry run with barely a ripple. There’s a few tiny pulses, but nothing that’s going to get you excited. The water is sitting at a very warm 83°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s really pumping.
Let’s start with the only spot on the list, Circoletto (Rome). It’s an advanced break, exposed to SSW swell, but it’s inconsistent. The whole first week is a write-off. Tuesday the 28th has a tiny 2ft swell from the west with a short 5-second period, but the combined energy is a weak 22. The morning is clean with a light NNE breeze, but the swell is just too small. The afternoon gets a cross-on shore wind from the WSW at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. Wednesday and Thursday are even worse, with swell dropping to nearly nothing. Friday the 31st shows a touch more energy, 2ft from the WNW in the morning, but it’s still weak with a combined energy of only 10. The wind is cross-off from the north, so it’s clean, but you’ll be battling for a knee-high wave that barely has any push.
The first weekend of August is more of the same. Saturday the 1st has a 2ft swell from the WNW, with a combined energy of 15, but it’s still a short 5-second period. The morning is clean, but by the afternoon, a SW wind comes onshore, ruining it. Sunday the 2nd morning is the best of a bad bunch with a 2ft swell from the WNW and a combined energy of 17, with a light cross-off ESE breeze. It’s clean, but the wave quality is still poor. After that, we hit a dead zone. From Monday the 3rd through to Tuesday the 5th, the swell drops to zero or near zero. There’s a glassy morning on the 3rd with no wind, but no waves to ride.
We finally see a tiny bump on Wednesday the 5th of August, with a 2ft swell from the SE, but it’s a weak 3-second period and the combined energy is only 10. The morning is clean with a light ESE breeze, but it’s basically a ripple. Thursday the 6th has a slightly better 2ft from the west with a 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 26, which is the highest we’ll see. The morning is clean with a light NNE breeze, but it’s still a pretty small wave. The rest of the period into the second week is a real struggle. Friday the 7th has a glassy morning but only 1ft. Saturday the 8th is glassy again but with a tiny 1ft from the SSE. The runs from the 9th to the 12th are all poor, with the swell rarely getting above 2ft and the wind often switching onshore.
There is no standout in this outlook. The combined energy never reaches even a moderate level, and the swell is always too small and weak to make up for the inconsistent nature of the break. If you’re a beginner, it’s too small to even bother with, and for the advanced crew, it’s just not worth paddling out for. This setup is a classic blank run for the area; it’s not uncommon to see a flat spell like this in the summer. All we can do is watch the forecasts and hope for a change.
Rusty.
