Table - best surf conditions forecast for Circoletto (Rome) over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it. I’m Rusty, and I’ve had a good look at the charts for Circoletto (Rome) here.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The next week and a half is looking pretty flat and uninspiring for us at this exposed beach-and-reef setup. The swell energy is barely registering, with values like 2 to 44 (weak wave energy). The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild going on there. But the wait is long.
We’re looking at a real dry spell. From Sunday 12 July right through until the end of Tuesday 21 July, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. Day after day of tiny, weak waves – mostly under 2 ft, with poor winds and onshore slop. A few early mornings have glassy conditions on the 14th, 15th, and 16th, but the swell is so small (0.7 ft to 1 ft, short periods of 4 to 5 seconds) you’d be floating around on a lake. The combined energy is barely a whisper.
Then things finally show some promise. On Tuesday morning 21 July, we get a pulse of swell. It’s a 6 ft SSW swell, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 283 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light and cross-off from the ENE, which should keep things clean. That’s the standout of the whole 16-day window. It’s not huge – 6 ft is still in the intermediate zone – but for this spot, after such a long flat spell, it’s a serious highlight. Just a heads-up: the crowd situation here is “often”, so expect a few others with the same idea.
After that, it gets quiet again. A few more days of nothing much, until Friday morning 24 July when another similar pulse rolls in – again 6 ft from the WSW, period 7 seconds, combined energy 278 (moderate wave energy), with light cross-off wind from the NNW. That’s the other one to pencil in, but it’s still over a week out, so treat it as promising but not locked in. The afternoon both days gets blown out by onshore winds, so it’s a morning mission only.
For the rest of the outlook, it's small and ordinary. The last morning on Monday 27 July shows a little 3 ft WSW swell with glassy conditions, but the energy is only 66 (weak), so it's barely a ripple.
So, the short version: don’t bother for the first week and a half. The only two mornings that could fire are Tuesday 21 July and Friday 24 July. If you can wait, those are your best bets for a clean wave at Circoletto. Otherwise, it’s a long dry spell.
Stay patient, stay stoked. Rusty.
