The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the surf outlook for the Forte dei Marmi (Pontille) area. For the next 16 days, it's looking like a tough stretch. We're seeing a lot of flat spells and when there is a little bump, it's just not coming together. The water is a warm 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold waiting for a wave that never comes.
Let's walk through it. The first few days of September are pretty much a write-off. We're talking tiny dribbles of swell, like 0.3ft to 1ft, with very short periods of 4 to 5 seconds. The wind is all over the place, from glassy to onshore, but the bottom line is the energy is just not there. The combined energy on these days is reading as low as 1 to 8, which is nothing. It's frustrating.
We get a slight glimmer of hope on the morning of Thursday, the 10th of September. We've got a small 3ft wave from the WSW, with a 7-second period, and the wind is blowing offshore from the NNE. That's clean. The combined energy bumps up to 64 (moderate), which is the best we'll see in the whole forecast. It's surfable, but it's small and very ordinary. The afternoon of the 10th, the wind swings back onshore, so that window is tight.
After that, we're back into a long, flat run. From the 11th of September all the way through to the 19th of September, it's a desert. The swell drops to zero or just a tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft. There are days with clean, glassy, or offshore winds, but there's nothing to ride. You'll see days with combined energy readings of 0 for days on end. That's a solid 8-day gap with no real surf.
The very last day of the forecast, Saturday the 19th of September, shows a couple of 0.7ft waves from the south with a 5 to 6-second period, and glassy conditions in the morning. But it's too small and weak to get excited about. The combined energy is only 3 to 4.
Honestly, the standout here is Thursday morning, the 10th of September. If you are desperate for a paddle, that's your best bet. But even then, it's a one-star session, not a day to write home about. For the rest of the month, it's a waiting game. This is just one of those blank runs for the area.
Rusty.
