The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Circoletto over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for this spot. Almost the entire 16-day run is a write-off for any kind of decent surf. There’s a big gap of nothing from now through the 17th of August, just tiny, weak, or flat conditions. The water is a wild 84°, which is a massive 5° warmer than normal – that’s very unusual, feels like bathwater.
The only time you even get a sniff of something rideable is on the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. You’ll see a small 3ft swell from the west, with a short period of 6 seconds and weak energy (61). The wind is a light offshore from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. But the wave comment calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – it’s just barely there, really only for the most desperate on an advanced board.
After that, it’s back to tiny or flat chop, with onshore winds ruining any chance. Later on, around Wednesday the 26th of August, the swell actually picks up – 5ft to 6ft from the west-southwest, with moderate energy (219-282). But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and choppy. For a beach and reef setup like Circoletto, that’s more of a kite-surfing wind than a paddling wind. Too messy for a good paddle session.
There’s a small window on the morning of Thursday the 27th of August with a clean 4ft swell and light cross-offshore wind, but again, it’s just "surfable but very ordinary". No real standout.
No real standouts here. If you’re itching for a paddle, the 18th morning is your best bet, but keep the expectations on the floor. This is a real quiet period for the area.
