The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta level with you right from the start—it’s been a tough stretch for the Marina Romea (Italy) region. We’re looking at a long, quiet run over the next 16 days, with barely a whisper of proper surf. There’s a gap of over a week where you’ll be lucky to see a ripple, so don’t hold your breath for any classic sessions.
The outlook kicks off on Tuesday, 18th August, with tiny, short-period junk—0.7 ft from the ESE at a pathetic 3 seconds. The combined swell energy is just 1, and with a glassy morning turning into a 9 mph onshore breeze, it’s not worth wetting a suit. Wednesday and Thursday stay flat as a pancake, with the odd 1 ft pulse getting killed by onshores or clean conditions on such a small scale. Friday morning, 21st August, offers a glimmer of hope: 2 ft from the SE, 5-second period, glassy calm winds, and a combined energy of 11. But “glassy” on a river break with barely knee-high slop still means poor surf. Not your day.
The first hint of something bigger comes on Wednesday morning, 26th August. We see 5 ft from the ENE, a 6-second period, and a combined energy of 122—that’s moderate energy at last. The wind is offshore from the W at 9 mph, making it gentle and clean. The waves are described as “surfable but very ordinary conditions,” scoring just 1 out of 10. It’s the only time in the whole window where you might actually get wet and catch a few, but don’t expect any barrels. The swell direction from the ENE is pretty average for this spot, which favours SE. Still, if you’re desperate, that Wednesday morning is the standout—though it’s a long way off and confidence is low.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Thursday, 27th August, sees 0.7 ft and clean offshore wind, but that’s a tease. By 28th August, we get 2 ft from the N with a 16 mph cross-offshore wind—clean but lumpy, and combined energy of just 12. Then from 29th August right through to 2nd September, the swell flatlines completely. Zero energy. Glassy mornings, flat afternoons. The river mouth might be a nice spot for a paddle, but there’s nothing to surf.
Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this isn’t unusual. The river break is inconsistent at the best of times, and we’re stuck in a long flat spell. If you’re a kiter, the clean winds on those bigger days might get you out, but for surfers? Wait for the next system. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s all quiet on the Italian front.
Rusty.
