The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the Forte dei Marmi area.
Alright, listen. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and sad overall. We've got a real gap here, so don't go getting your hopes up. There's a slim window of small stuff, but you're mostly looking at a long stretch of nothing happening.
We kick things off on Monday the 31st with a tiny 2.6ft SW swell, period of just 5 seconds. The energy is weak, only (38), and the wind is on it. Not worth paddling out. Tuesday the 1st of September has a similar small 2.6ft swell in the morning with a light cross-off wind, which at least makes it look clean, but the waves are very ordinary. The water temp is a very unusual 81.3° at Pontille, much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Then we hit a real flat spell. From Wednesday the 2nd right through to Tuesday the 8th of September, the numbers are just terrible. We're talking about ankle-snappers of 0.3ft or less, often no swell at all, and even when there's a glassy morning like on Thursday the 3rd with a clean 1ft, the energy is basically zero (3). It’s a dead zone.
We finally get a little pulse back around Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning shows a 2.6ft SW swell (39 energy), glassy, but still the conditions are labelled poor. The afternoon picks up to 3ft (70 energy), but the wind is cross-on, so it’s messy. Not a standout by any means.
The best bet in this whole forecast is the morning of Friday the 11th of September. We get a 3ft swell from the WSW with an 8-second period and a light cross-off wind from the east at 5 km/h, so it should be clean. The energy bumps up to a moderate (109). It’s still small, but if you are desperate, that's your window. The Saturday the 12th morning is similar but a little smaller at 2.3ft.
Look, for the rest of the run after that, it mostly dries up again into the middle of September. This is a proper blank run for the area. Not much to get excited about.
If I had to point you anywhere, it's Pontille on Friday morning the 11th for the cleanest, most energy we'll see. It's not big, but the wind will be right.
