The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Forte dei Marmi (Pontille) . It’s a beach and jetty spot, open to south-west swells, and the water is a balmy 84 °F – that’s about 8 °F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is way off the norm. Feels like a hot tub.
Truth is, this is a bleak outlook for the next two weeks. From now through the end of July and into early August, the combined swell energy barely registers – most days it’s zero or single digits, up to maybe 14. The wave comments keep saying “poor surf conditions,” and they’re not kidding. There’s a long stretch of flat or near-flat water.
The only faint pulse comes early on Friday, 7 August. That morning we see a 0.7 ft south-west swell, a period of just 3 seconds, and combined energy of 1. But the wind is glassy calm, with a slight offshore breeze, and the wave comment says “clean.” That’s the pick of a very bad bunch. It’s tiny – you’d need a log to get any glide, and for a beginner it might be just about doable. But for anyone used to real surf, it’s a non-event.
Late July (Monday 28th) offers a little more: a 1 ft south-west swell with an 8-second period, and glassy morning conditions. Combined energy hits 26 – still weak. It’s rideable on a longboard, but crowds are “often,” so expect a handful of others on the same scraps.
Between 26–28 July we get 2 ft south swell, but periods are short (5–7 seconds) and the wind turns cross-onshore or onshore. Surf quality stays poor. With such minimal swell and mostly messy wind, this setup actually looks more promising for kite surfing than paddling.
So the only true “best” is that clean, tiny window on 7 August morning. Otherwise, it’s a long wait. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s slim pickings.
