The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for our local stretch at Focene (Italy). I've gotta be honest with you, it's looking like a pretty flat and quiet stretch ahead. The water is sitting at a toasty 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it'll feel nice just floating around.
Right from the start on Sunday the 13th, we're looking at tiny, weak swell. It's not going to be worth paddling out. This pattern of poor surf conditions and flat spells continues for days. Monday and Tuesday the 14th and 15th offer just ankle-biters with very short-period energy, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, so the surface is messy. By Wednesday the 16th, it's more of the same – barely a ripple, combined swell energy is just 1 (weak energy), and the wind is getting choppy in the afternoon.
We get a little glimmer of hope on Thursday the 17th. The morning shows some 2ft swell from the WSW, with a cleaner cross-offshore breeze, and the combined energy climbs to 15 (weak energy). It's still pretty small for a break that's exposed to the SW, but it's a slight improvement. By the afternoon, the wind picks up and the swell jumps to 4ft with a 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 123 (moderate wave energy). That's the biggest push in the entire outlook. However, with a moderate cross-shore wind and the risk of thunderstorms, it's going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. Not a paddle session.
Friday the 18th is back to small, weak waves with onshore winds, and Saturday the 19th gives us a window of glassy conditions in the morning with 3ft swell from the WSW. The combined energy is only 37 (weak energy), so it won't have much push, but if you're desperate for a clean, small-wave session on a longboard, that Saturday morning (19th) is the only time the wind truly goes glassy. It's not a standout by any means, just the best of a bad lot.
After that, from Sunday the 20th right through to Monday the 28th, the forecast is a barren wasteland. There are long gaps of days with zero swell or tiny, unrideable bumps. The combined energy sits at 0 or 1 for most of the second week. It's a proper blank run.
For beginners, there's nothing on offer. The swell that does show on the 17th gets too big and choppy. The rest is flat. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer on a windy afternoon than a paddle surfer. I'd hang the boards up and maybe go for a swim in that warm water.
Rusty.

Information about the Focene or Baraonda Surf forecast
