The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer for Lido Garda.
Honestly, mate, it's a tough outlook. We're looking at a long stretch with next to nothing happening. The first recommendation doesn't pop up until August 19th, so we've got a solid nine days of flat or junk conditions before that. You'll see a few tiny bumps here and there, but with the wind swinging onshore most afternoons and the swell energy barely registering, it's not worth paddling out for.
Things finally get a pulse on Wednesday morning, the 19th. We'll see some small 4ft swell from the west, but the real story is the offshore wind from the NE keeping things clean. The combined swell energy is moderate at 139, so there's a bit of push, but the conditions are just "surfable". It's a beginner-friendly spot, so if you're just starting out and desperate for a splash, this is your window.
Then, the standout of the whole forecast comes on Thursday the 20th. The morning session is the one to circle. We're looking at a solid 5ft west swell, and the wind is a light NNW breeze, making for a clean morning. The combined swell energy jumps to a strong 413, so there's some real power in the water. This is the best on offer, hands down. The water temp is about average for this time of year at Lido Garda.
After that, it fades back into the doldrums pretty quickly, with the rest of the fortnight offering nothing but tiny, weak swells and messy wind. Keep an eye on the 20th morning, because that’s your best chance for a proper wave.

Information about the Lido Garda Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lido Garda provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lido Garda can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lido Garda 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 (Lido Garda) 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 Lido Garda 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.
Lido Garda is 7 km (4 miles) from Anzio. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Anzio. Anzio has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
