Isola Delle Femmine Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Isola Delle Femmine over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with pretty much nothing on the table for the first week and a bit. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there, but the lack of any real swell energy is the story.

We start off on Thursday, July 9th, with tiny 1ft to 2ft waves from the west. The energy is weak (9 to 24). It’s *poor surf conditions* across the board. The wind is light on the morning, even glassy, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. Friday the 10th through Sunday the 12th is even worse – flat as a pancake, with zero energy (0) and no swell height. The wind is glassy on the mornings, but with no waves, it’s a complete write-off.

We roll into Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, and it’s still struggling. We’re looking at 0.7ft or less, with energy levels stuck in single digits (2 to 4). The wind is light and clean at times, but the swell is pathetic. This pattern of tiny, weak swell continues all the way through the middle of the week. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th see a return to flat conditions again.

There’s a flicker of something on Saturday the 18th. We get a bump in energy to 81, with 3ft swell from the west. But the wind is onshore and cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. It’s still marked as *poor surf conditions*. The following Sunday to Tuesday (19th to 21st) is similar – small, weak, and mostly onshore.

Now, the only true standout in this whole 16-day window comes on Wednesday, July 22nd. The morning brings a 4ft west swell, with period around 7 seconds and a solid 173 combined energy. The wind is light offshore from the southeast, keeping it clean. This is the one day where the conditions actually line up for a surf. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the best we’ve got. The afternoon holds up too, with 4ft from the west-northwest and 111 energy, still clean with a cross-off breeze. The surf is *surfable waves but very ordinary conditions* – which, given the drought, we’ll take.

After that, it fades back into the gutter on Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th, with weak, onshore winds and tiny swell.

So, the honest truth? Get your gear ready for Wednesday the 22nd. That’s the day. The rest of the window is a ghost town. If you’re a beginner, that 4ft is totally fine, and the offshore wind will make it super clean. Don’t be surprised if a few others are out – it’s the only show in town.

Rusty.
