The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: the next two weeks for Isola Delle Femmine are a tough watch for a surfer. We’ve got a long, flat stretch coming, and the few bumps that show up are tiny and weak. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, from Thursday 13th August, it’s basically a flat spell. The ocean’s giving us nothing but tiny 0.7ft slop from the NNW with a short 4-second period and next to no energy (2). The water is 86°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, about 7° above average. That’s unusual. But with barely a ripple to surf, it doesn’t help much. This nothing-surf hangs around through the rest of the week.
We then hit a dead zone from Saturday 15th August through to Tuesday 19th August. Multiple days with absolutely no swell registered – zero wave energy (0). The wind stays light and occasionally glassy, but there’s simply no waves to ride. It’s a proper drought for paddle surfing.
There’s a little flicker of life on Wednesday 19th August afternoon, but it’s just 1ft from the WNW at a shaky 5 seconds. Energy is still tiny (9). Thursday 20th August morning goes glassy, but with 0.7ft NNW slop, it's not worth paddling out for. More flat spells roll through Friday and Saturday.
Sunday 23rd August morning offers the first real sign of *something*. We’ve got 2ft from the NNW with a 6-second period and 34 energy. The wind is a clean cross-off from the E at 9 mph. It’s surfable, but tiny. The trend picks up a little towards the end of the run.
The best on offer – and I’m using that term loosely – is Thursday 27th August morning. It’s the only day the forecast calls for “surfable waves,” even if they're very ordinary. Isola Delle Femmine gets 2ft from the W at 6 seconds, with 42 energy. The wind is light cross-off from the E at just 3 mph, so it’ll be clean. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but the short period won't give you much push. Crowds are *sometimes* a thing here, so for a tiny wave like this, expect company. That afternoon, it gets chopped out by a cross-breeze. Considering the whole 16-day window, that Thursday morning is your only genuine chance for a splash.
Overall, it’s a grim outlook. For this area, a long blank run like this isn’t totally abnormal. With so little swell and light winds, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if you're desperate.
Rusty.
