The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days in Rome are a tough watch for surfers. I’ve combed through the charts, and honestly, there’s not a single session that I’d paddle out for. The finder is blank on recommendations, and the guidance tells a story of a stubbornly flat spell.
The first glimmer of anything rideable shows up around Monday, August 5th, but even then, we’re talking about a tiny 0.7ft SSW swell with a period of just 4 seconds and energy so weak it’s barely registering (1). That’s not surf, that’s a lake ripple. The wind is light and cross-off, so the water looks clean, but there’s nothing to push a board.
The whole first week is a write-off. Swell heights stay under 2ft, periods are short, and the combined energy never gets beyond a pathetic 19 (for a brief moment on Saturday morning, August 10th, with a 2ft W swell). That morning is glassy, which is teasing, but the wave quality is rated as poor. It’s just not happening.
We hit a real dead zone from August 15th. The Saturday morning of that day shows no swell at all – zero energy. That flat spell stretches for days. The wind is light and offshore at times, but with nothing to ride, it’s just a waste of good conditions.
The only time the numbers start to look a little more interesting is around Monday, August 19th. A 3ft WSW swell with a 6-second period shows up in the morning, with combined energy climbing to 46. That’s still weak, but it’s the biggest pulse of the whole forecast. The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the SSE, which will chop it up at a beach-and-reef spot like Circoletto. The break is exposed to the swell, but it’s an inconsistent spot and only for advanced surfers when it does work. For this, it’s still too small and messy to get excited about.
The water temperature, for what it’s worth, is a very unusual 84°F on the 5th – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, but you’ll be floating in flat water.
So, the bottom line? There’s nothing to recommend. No standout, no best session. This is a blank run. For a spot like this, that’s a shame, but forecasts can change. For now, leave the board in the car and go for a swim. The conditions are more suited to a kite surfer with a small kite, but even then, it’s a stretch.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
