Alright, this is Rusty. Let's look at what we've got here.
Honestly, it's a pretty bleak stretch ahead at Il Sale. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent wave riding. There's nothing on the cards that I could point to as a standout.
Right now, through most of the next week and beyond, we're looking at a flat spell or tiny, weak dribbles. The combined wave energy is basically zero for days on end, only creeping into the low single digits on a few afternoons. Even when we do see a hint of a wave on the 19th, with a bit of a 2ft swell from the WSW, it's still being scored as poor surf conditions. The wind switches onshore in the afternoon, making a mess of things.
The water temperature at Il Sale is sitting at a very unusual 78°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Bottom line: There are no good surf options in the window. The swell just isn't there, and when a pulse tries to show up, the wind is against it. For a reef break like this, you need better alignment. It's one of those stretches where you're better off watching the horizon and hoping the models change. Definitely not a time for paddling out. If the wind stays strong out of the WSW on the 18th and 19th with that small swell and a strong breeze, the setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
Keep your eyes on the charts.
Rusty.

Information about the Il Sale Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Il Sale provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Il Sale can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Il Sale surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Il Sale) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Il Sale may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
