The Lowdown
Alright, let's get real about this one. I'm looking at the stretch ahead for Forte dei Marmi (Pontille) and, honestly, it's a tough pill to swallow. We've got a long, flat spell staring us down.
Right now, the water's a balmy 80°, which is a staggering 6° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a seriously weird anomaly, and it tells you the sea is running hot.
The first few days are a write-off. From Monday the 13th right through to Saturday the 18th, we're looking at tiny, weak, and short-period slop – we're talking 0.3ft to 1.0ft waves with energy readings bouncing between 1 and 7 (basically nothing). The wind is generally light and onshore or cross-onshore, adding insult to injury. It's not worth paddling out for.
You'll be waiting nearly a week before we see a pulse of any kind. On Sunday, July 19th, the morning shows a bit of a pulse. A 3ft swell from the WSW, with a 7-second period, gives us a combined energy of 83 (still weak). The key here is the offshore wind from the NE, which will make it look clean. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. The afternoon degrades quickly with a cross-onshore breeze.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. From Monday the 20th all the way to Tuesday the 28th, the forecast is a graveyard of zeros and flat lines. There are some glassy mornings, but with no swell to speak of, it's just a flat, pretty lake. Toward the very end, on the 28th, we see a tiny 0.7ft blip, but it's not going to save the run.
Honestly, the only window that even flickers to life is the morning of Sunday, July 19th. It's your best bet, but it's not a standout. The waves are small, the period is short, and the overall energy is weak. It's a spot for a beginner to get a few tiny, clean rollers if you're desperate for a paddle.
The rest of the 16-day window is a total blank. There's a massive gap of nearly 9 days with absolutely no surf on offer. This is a tough run for the area.
Stay patient, keep your eyes on the charts, and wait for the next real swell.
