Isola Delle Femmine Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Isola Delle Femmine is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch, especially through the first week and into the second. There’s no real standout to shout about, but there are a few moments where the conditions might just let you get wet.

The water temp is sitting around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Right now, through the end of July and into the first days of August, it’s a real blank run. From Tuesday the 28th of July right through to the 5th of August, we’re seeing days with no swell at all, or tiny, weak waves with poor surf conditions. The combined energy is barely a whisper, with values like 34, 6, and even 0. It’s flat, or close to it. The wind does offer some glassy mornings—like Wednesday the 29th of July morning, when it’s glassy, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s not worth paddling out for. That’s a gap of about 8 days where you’re better off doing something else.

Moving into the second week, things get a little more interesting, but only just. On the morning of Thursday the 6th of August, we get a tiny 0.7ft from the west, with clean, cross-offshore winds. The combined energy is only 1, so it’s very weak. This pattern of tiny, clean waves continues through the 7th, 8th, and into the 9th of August. The morning of Sunday the 9th of August sees a small bump: 1ft from the west with a 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 17. Winds are light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. It’s still small, but it’s the most we’ve seen.

Monday the 10th of August morning offers 1ft from the NNW with a 6-second period and clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is 20. Still not a classic, but it’s the best of a poor bunch.

The real highlight, if you can call it that, is the morning of Monday the 10th of August. The morning of Tuesday the 11th of August is also clean with 1ft from the NW, but it’s even weaker. None of this is big enough or consistent enough to recommend a specific break for a standout session. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the energy is weak. For a beginner, the tiny size is safe, but the quality is poor.

Honestly, for the whole 16 days, the setup is more interesting for a paddleboard or a swim than a surf. Keep an eye on the forecast, because it tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, the boards can stay in the car.

Rusty.
