The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Rome area over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first half of this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of days with barely a ripple. From Tuesday, the 4th of August, all the way through to Saturday the 16th of August, it’s basically flat or offering tiny, weak, poor-quality waves. The wind is all over the place, and the combined swell energy is barely a whisper, sitting at just single-digit or low two-digit numbers. There’s a lot of glassy mornings, but with no swell to work with, it’s just a nice day to be on the beach, not in the water. You’re looking at a solid 12-day gap with no real surf to speak of.
Then, things finally wake up. The standout window is the morning of Sunday, the 16th of August. The swell starts to build, and we’re looking at clean conditions at Circoletto (Rome). The wind is light from the ENE, keeping things clean. The swell is coming from the WSW at 5ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 314 (moderate), which is a real change from the nothing we’ve seen. It’s not a monster, but after two weeks of nothing, this is a welcome sight. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
But the real prize, the one to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Monday, the 17th of August. This is the best on offer. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as can be. The swell from the WSW is pushing a solid 7ft, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 500. This is a proper, powerful beach and reef setup. Be warned though, at 7ft, this is pushing into expert-only territory, especially at a break that’s described as inconsistent. The swell direction is SSW, which is spot on the optimum for this spot. If you’re an advanced surfer, this is the session to chase. The afternoon gets a bit messy with onshore wind, so get in early.
After that, it drops off again quickly. Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th of August see the swell fade back to tiny, weak waves with poor conditions.
So, the long and short of it: you’ve got a long wait, but that Monday morning, 17th of August, is your standout. It’s a big, clean, powerful swell, but it’s for the experienced crew only.
Rusty.
