The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one for the central Adriatic right now. The forecast is flat as a pancake for the first week and a half, with barely a ripple worth paddling for. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing until around Wednesday, 22 July, when the first tiny blip of energy shows up.
Let’s run through what little we’ve got. The spot is Fano Sassonia. It’s an exposed beach break, but it’s set up for an ESE optimum swell, which we just don’t see much of. The water temp is sitting at 78°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprise there.
The 16-day window is almost a write-off. From now until Tuesday, 21 July, the swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.7 ft to 2 ft with short, weak periods of 3 to 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is a measly 1 to 26 (weak energy), and the wind is either onshore, cross-on, or just messy. It’s not surfable, it’s just chop.
The first tiny glimmer comes Wednesday morning, 22 July. We get a 3 ft swell from the NE, with a 5-second period. The combined energy is still weak at 71 (moderate energy). The wind is glassy, ENE at 3 mph, so it’ll be clean as a whistle. But the sets will be small, soft, and inconsistent. This is a beginner level wave, and with the break being inconsistent anyway, it’s barely worth a look. The afternoon gets ruined by a 12 mph onshore breeze.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Thursday, 23 July, is flat again. Friday, 24 July, shows a 4 ft NE swell with a 5-second period, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s gonna be choppy and ordinary. The energy is still weak at 65 (moderate energy). The rest of the month and into August is a desert of tiny, short-period swell and bad wind.
Forget the second week. There’s one half-decent window on Wednesday morning, 22 July, if you’re desperate for a paddle. The glassy conditions will make it look better than it is, but honestly, the swell is too small and weak to get excited about. There’s no standout, no big swell, no groundswell. This is a proper flat spell, and for a place like this, a blank run isn’t unusual. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon onshore breezes might give you something, but for a paddle surfer? Leave the board at home. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.
