The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Forte dei Marmi (Pontille). Gotta be straight with you – this is a lean stretch ahead. The forecast shows a big ol' gap of nothing really worth paddling out for from now all the way through to late next week. We’re lookin’ at a whole lot of flat, tiny, or junk conditions with almost no energy to speak of. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this kind of dry spell is a bummer, but it happens. Keep an eye on the horizon.
The only windows that even start to whisper “maybe” are around Thursday the 17th and then again on Saturday the 26th. Let’s break it down.
First real glimmer of hope comes Thursday morning, 17th September. We’ll see a little bump of SW swell pushin’ 4 ft with a 7-second period. It’s not gonna win any awards, but combined wave energy reads moderate at 106 – a rare pulse of life. The wind is glassy from the ESE at 3 mph, which will keep the surface silky. The break itself is a beach/jetty setup, so with that short period, it might be a bit soft, but for a beginner-friendly spot, it’ll offer a few grovelly rides in clean conditions. It’s not a standout, just the most promising of a flat fortnight.
After that, it’s back to nada until the 26th September, Saturday morning. Again we see a small pulse, 4 ft from the SW with a 6-second period and 88 in wave energy. Wind is offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean and a bit more push than the previous week. It’s still very small and short period, but it’s surfable. Don’t expect a classic – think of it as a chance to get wet without getting hammered.
That’s it for the 16 days. The swell direction (SW) is bang on what this break likes, but the size and period just aren’t there to make anything special. Crowds at Pontille can be a problem often, but with this kind of surf, you might have it to yourself.
Best bet? Thursday morning the 17th for the cleanest, fun-sized waves on offer. Saturday the 26th is the runner-up, but it’s still a long way out so treat that one as a promising maybe.
Rusty.
