The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming our way over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty flat spell for a while around here. We're looking at a big gap of over a week with virtually nothing rideable. The first real whisper of a wave doesn't show up until Friday the 18th of September. From the 7th right through to the 17th, it's all tiny dribble, mostly 0.3ft to 1ft, and the energy is in the gutters. The odd morning might have glassy conditions, but there's no push to work with.
Now, let's talk about the only spot that offers any kind of hope in this whole 16-day run: Forte dei Marmi (Pontille). It's a beach and jetty setup, pretty consistent, but this is a quiet time for it.
The one day that separates itself from the rest is Friday the 18th of September. We finally see a pulse of swell show up. Friday morning, the wind is offshore from the NE at 10 km/h, and the wave height bumps up to 3ft from the WSW. The swell period is 6 seconds, so it's a short-period wind swell, but it's the best we've got. The combined energy hits 85 (moderate wave energy). It's a beginner-friendly break anyway, and at 3ft, it's perfect for that crew. The only downside is that crowds are possible here. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The morning of the 19th of September, Saturday, offers a bit of a follow-up. We've got glassy conditions, a 3ft SW swell, and offshore wind from the ENE at 5 km/h. The energy is a little lower at 45 (weak wave energy), but it’ll be clean. The afternoon winds shift onshore and spoil it, so get out early.
The first week is a total write-off. The second week is a one-day wonder on Friday the 18th, with a smaller but glassy option on Saturday the 19th. After that, it fades back to nothing. For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a dry spell, but it's the reality of the forecast.
Rusty, signing off.
