The Lowdown
Right then, it’s Rusty here. Let's talk about what's lined up in this next stretch. To be honest, looking out over the full 16-day window, the options are incredibly thin for any decent paddling. This is a bleak run, so don’t expect much at all.
Fano Lido (Spiaggia di Ponente) is the only break on the radar, and it’s a sandbar setup that's inconsistent at the best of times. For the opening few days it's just a flat, weak scene with onshore winds and zero energy – genuinely poor. Water temp is sitting at a very unusual 84°F, a massive 5 degrees above average for this time of year, so it's a warm bathtub, but that’s where the positives end.
The only times we see any real glimmer come early on the morning of the 19th. That Wednesday morning, there’s a glassy calm with a light NE groundswell pushing 4.3ft, period of 6 seconds, and a combined energy reading of 105. Now, that's a very average short-period swell, but the glassy wind will clean things right up. Even so, it’s described as "very ordinary conditions" and the set-up is a beach break with a short-period swell which will likely be a bit soft and won't hold any real shape. The crowds here can be a factor at times, so be ready for a few heads.
If you miss that, the weekend of the 22nd gets another look-in. On the Saturday 22nd, morning conditions are glassy with a light WNW breeze and a 3.6ft NE swell. It’s still just short-period, unexciting wave energy (87), and things will turn choppy by the afternoon. Sunday 23rd brings a little offshore wind and some cloud cover, but the swell has dropped to barely rideable 2ft – not much to work with.
Overall, this stretch is pretty much a write-off for proper surfing. The weak, onshore conditions for the vast majority of the period, combined with the inconsistent sandbar setup, means it’s more of a lake than a wave zone. It tends not to stay poor forever, so forecasts can change – but don’t hold your breath. If you do head out, the 19th morning and 22nd morning are the only sessions with a tiny window for some clean if unremarkable waves.
