The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve been watching the charts for a few days, and to be honest, things are looking pretty quiet out there for the Rome area. We’re staring down a long, dry stretch with barely a ripple for the first week and a half. The first real bit of surf on offer doesn't show up until the morning of Monday, the 26th of August.
Right now, and for the next several days, it’s flat. There's no swell to speak of. The water is warm though – about 84° – which is a solid 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s unseasonably toasty.
The first sign of life arrives Monday morning the 26th. Circoletto (Rome) is our only real option. That morning, the swell jumps to a solid 8ft from the West, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 1280, so there's plenty of power there. But honestly, the wind is a cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph, which will chop it up. It’s punchy and powerful but messy.
That afternoon on the 26th, the swell backs off a touch to 7ft from the West-southwest, but the wind stays onshore and choppy. It’s still big, but for experienced surfers only.
Thursday morning the 27th sees the swell settle to 4ft from the West (energy 107), with a light onshore wind. It’s cleaner than the day before, but still a bit woolly.
After that, it fades right back down. We’re looking at tiny scraps of 0.3ft to 1ft for the rest of the window into the end of August. The morning of Saturday the 31st goes glassy with a tiny 1.0ft from the South-southwest, but it’s barely enough to wet the board.
Look, if you’re a surfer, keep your expectations low. The standout for the whole run is the Monday morning of the 26th with that 8ft West swell, but the poor wind makes it a bit of a struggle. It’s the most energy we get, but you’ll have to work for it.
