Isola Delle Femmine Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the 16-day outlook for Isola Delle Femmine. I've gotta say, this stretch is looking pretty bleak. There's a long gap of flat days staring us in the face, so don't hold your breath for anything decent.

The forecast opens with zero surf at Isola Delle Femmine. The first real sign of life won't show up until Thursday morning, the 6th of August, and even then, it's a sad little westerly ripple at 0.7ft with a 7-second period. The combined energy of all swells is a paltry 3 (weak energy). The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it's not going to be pretty. Don't bother.

We'll see a few more days of these tiny, weak waves with energy barely cracking 20 (moderate wave energy at best) on Saturday afternoon, the 8th of August. The swell direction is mostly from the west or northwest, but the period never gets over 7 seconds, so it's pure windswell. The wind is generally light, which is a small mercy, but the surf is just too small and weak to be worth checking.

There's a gap of days with no surf at all from the 11th through the 12th of August. Then, on the 14th of August, we get a tiny 1ft swell from the northwest with a 5-second period. The combined energy is a measly 10 (weak energy). The only highlight is a glassy morning on the 14th, but with waves that small, it's more of a lake than a wave. The same goes for the 15th and 16th.

The 17th of August has a new period of 9 seconds, which is slightly better, but still only 0.3ft to 1.0ft from the west. The energy stays in the weak range. The wind stays light or gentle, but the surf is just not there.

The outlook for the second week is more of the same – tiny, weak swells with no real punch. The 18th has a morning with a gentle cross-offshore breeze and 1.0ft, 7-second waves from the west, but it's still not worth the paddle.

The water temperature is a very unusual 85°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. It'll feel like a warm bath, but that's the only thing going for it.

This is a dead run, plain and simple. A blank run like this is more normal for the area, so don't be surprised. The setups look more interesting for a day at the beach than for paddle surfing. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about.

Rusty.
