The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about Forte dei Marmi (Pontille). This is a beach/jetty setup, exposed to a SW swell, and over the next 16 days, it’s a grim picture. The combined energy of all swells directed here is mostly zero or single digits, with a few weak pulses in the low hundreds at best (172). The water temperature is a whopping 82.4°, which is 7.2° warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual, you’ll feel like you’re in a bath.
The forecast is dominated by flat spells and tiny, weak waves. From Sunday the 19th through to Monday the 27th, the surf is basically non-existent. We’re talking about a stretch of 9 days with nothing worth paddling for. The first glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning offers the best of a very poor bunch: a 3.0ft swell from the SSW at 7 seconds, with a combined energy of 75. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ESE, keeping it clean. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind and a 3.3ft swell.
After that, the rest of the window fades back into tiny, choppy, or onshore mush. The morning of Wednesday the 29th has a clean 1.6ft from the S with a light offshore NE breeze, but it’s barely a ripple. The period is short (8 seconds), so no power. The only day that might be worth a look is the morning of the 28th, and even that’s a stretch. For a beginner, the swell is small enough to be safe, but the quality is so low it’s hard to recommend.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session on most days, especially with the stronger onshore winds in the afternoons. The waves are just too weak and inconsistent.
