The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looking at the next couple of weeks for Fano Lido (Spiaggia di Ponente), and it’s a pretty grim picture. This sandbar isn’t breaking, and we're looking at a long stretch of near-nothing.
The water’s a balmy 82°, which is a good 8° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a massive anomaly and makes the flat spells feel even more like a swimming pool.
The first ripple of hope comes on Friday the 11th, with a weak 3ft swell from the NNE and a short 6-second period. The combined energy is only 57 – weak. There's a light cross-offshore wind, so it could be clean, but it is so weak it's barely worth the walk.
Then it’s back to nothing. A few 1ft bumps with periods of 3-5 seconds, but that’s just junk. We’ll see some glassy mornings, but with no swell, they’re just flat and pretty.
The one bright spot in the distance is the morning of Sunday, September 20th. We finally get a 3ft swell from the ESE with a 7-second period, and the energy jumps to a moderate 154. The wind is light offshore from the SW, so the surface should be clean. It’s still not great, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The swell direction is a little off the preferred NE, but beggars can’t be choosers.
Then the data gets wild on the 22nd. The morning shows 7ft from the NE with strong energy (484), and by the afternoon it’s 7ft with very strong energy (707). But here’s the catch: the wind is cranking from the NW at 16-19 mph, creating a nasty cross-shore chop. That much swell and wind is going to turn this into a messy, blown-out storm surge. That’s well over 2.5m, so it’s expert-only territory, and with that wind, it’s not even looking fun for them. This setup looks far more interesting for the kite surfers than the paddle surfers.
So, what we’ve got is a long, barren spell with one clean, small day on the 20th. The bigger swell on the 22nd is going to be a howling mess. It’s a frustrating outlook, but the water’s warm and with this being an inconsistent spot, a blank run is a common occurrence. Forecasts can change, so I’d keep an eye on it, but don't be expecting any fireworks.
Rusty.
