The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get honest about the next 16 days. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of flatness, so don’t hold your breath.
The first hint of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Monday the 27th of July, at Forte dei Marmi (Pontille). Before that, it’s a total write-off—days of nothing but tiny dribbles with less than 0.7 ft, glassy mornings but no height to work with. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 83°F when we first check it on the 21st. That’s about 8°F above average, so it’s genuinely unusual bathing weather, but not for surfing.
The only real window comes on Monday the 27th of July. The morning brings a clean 3 ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds and a moderate combined energy of 150. The wind is offshore from the ENE, blowing at 6 mph, which will keep things tidy. The afternoon pushes the swell up to 4 ft from the same direction, but the wind swings onshore from the SW, so it’s only for the real die-hards. The break is a beach/jetty setup, exposed to the SW, and it’s fairly consistent. Crowds are likely here, so expect company.
Tuesday the 28th of July morning is the next best look. You’ll find a glassy 3 ft swell from the SW, 8-second period, and combined energy of 103. The wind is glassy from the ENE at 3 mph. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak surf and flat spells all the way through the 5th of August.
Standout: The Monday 27th July morning session at Forte dei Marmi (Pontille) is the one to aim for. With 3 ft from the WSW, clean offshore wind, and moderate energy, that’s your best bet in an otherwise barren run.
