The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Lillatro is lookin’ slow for the next week or so. The water’s way warmer than usual – about 80.8°F with a +7.4°F anomaly, pretty wild for September. But there’s no surf to enjoy it. From Monday the 7th through Thursday the 10th it’s dead flat – glassy mornings but zero swell.
Friday the 11th finally kicks up a tiny bump: 2.6 ft from the west, short 6-second period, combined energy a weak 97. The morning’s clean with a light offshore breeze, so you might snag a few crumbly waves, but it’s nothing to write home about. Then it shuts down again from Saturday the 12th through Thursday the 17th – total dry spell.
The real deal comes Friday the 18th. Morning sees a solid 8.2 ft west swell at 8 seconds, combined energy of 884 (strong). A light offshore ESE wind should keep it clean and punchy. The break is a fairly exposed reef that works best from the SW, so the west direction isn’t spot on, but it’s close enough. That size is expert-only – 8.2 ft is well into big-wave territory. The afternoon gets blown out by strong onshore wind, so get there early. Crowds are listed as “often,” so expect plenty of company.
After that,

Information about the Lillatro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lillatro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lillatro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lillatro 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 (Lillatro) 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 Lillatro 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.
Lillatro is 5 km (3 miles) from Cecina. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Cecina. Cecina has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
