Marina Romea Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks around Marina Romea. I’ll be straight with you—it’s a quiet stretch.

The outlook is pretty lean overall. There are no real standout sessions in the whole 16-day window. The first week is almost a total write-off, with barely a ripple. You’ll see a few small pulses here and there, but nothing that’ll get you out of bed early. The best we can say is that the second week offers a little more hope, but it’s still small stuff.

We start with Marina Romea (river). The first real surf to speak of shows up on Sunday, September 6th, with a swell pushing 4 ft from the east, but the period is short at 5 to 6 seconds. The wind is onshore, so it’s messy. Combined wave energy is weak (73 on Sunday morning, 98 on Sunday afternoon), so it’s not going to have any punch. For beginners, it’s borderline okay size-wise, but the onshore wind will chop it up.

Then there’s a gap. Monday, September 7th, offers a glassy morning with 2 ft from the NE, period 5 seconds, combined energy of just 34. It’s clean but tiny. Not worth a special trip. The water temperature is a whopping 84°F, which is 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year—very unusual. You’ll be sweating in a spring suit, if you wear one.

After that, it’s basically flat or tiny, onshore, and poor for several days. The only other flicker comes on Thursday, September 10th, with a morning session of 3 ft from the east, period 5 seconds, combined energy 59. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. But again, it’s small and weak. Not a standout.

The second week is more of the same. Saturday, September 12th, has a morning with 1 ft from the SE, period 7 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze. Clean, but barely a wave. Combined energy is 26. The following week brings a few 2 ft days with some cross-off or glassy conditions, but the period stays short (4 to 7 seconds) and the energy never gets above 51. None of it is worth writing home about.

For a river break, this setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer when the wind is up. On the days with stronger onshore wind and a bit of swell, you’d be better off with a kite than a surfboard.

To sum it up: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The whole period is a blank run for Marina Romea. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a time to tune up your gear or find a different hobby for a couple of weeks.

Rusty.
