The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve looked over the charts. Honest truth? It’s not looking great for a surf for a good long while. We’ve got a solid stretch of flat, small, or messy conditions ahead. Let’s get into it.
For the next week and a half, from Friday the 21st of August through to the start of September, it’s basically a write-off. There’s virtually no rideable swell on the cards. We’re seeing tiny waves – 1.0 ft to 1 ft – with short, weak periods of 3 to 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is in the single digits or low teens (4 to 57), which is just pathetic. It’s the kind of stuff that might barely roll in on a dead flat day. Not worth wetting a wetsuit. We’ve got a few glassy mornings, like Friday the 21st morning with that light offshore wind and 2 ft from the ESE, but the wave comment is clear: poor surf conditions. There’s just no power behind it.
We finally see a small glimmer on Friday the 4th of September morning. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the east with a period of 6 seconds, and the energy finally cracks 96 – still weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen. Wind is clean out of the WNW, offshore for our spot, Marina Romea. The comment calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary.” That’s the honest truth. This is our only window in the whole 16 days that’s even close to worth looking at. But don’t get your hopes up. On that Friday the 4th morning, with a 3 ft east swell and offshore wind, it might be enough for a longboard or a foiler to get a few weak, crumbly lines. The afternoon goes onshore and it’s back to junk.
The rest of the run – from the 5th of September onward – goes back to tiny, weak, and onshore. We’re talking 1.0 ft to 2 ft with onshore winds and low energy.
The water temperature on that first Friday morning is a very warm 84°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s unusual – it’s like bath water. The anomaly is more than three degrees above average.
Because there’s no real swell to speak of, I can’t even pick a standout break. The only spot on offer, Marina Romea, is a river mouth that’s inconsistent and only really works with a solid SE groundswell. That’s not happening. This is a rare, long blank run for this area. It is what it is. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home and go for a swim – the water’s stupidly warm.

Information about the Marina Romea Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Marina Romea provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Marina Romea can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Marina Romea 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 (Marina Romea) 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 Marina Romea 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.
Marina Romea is 17 km (11 miles) from the city of Comacchio. If you plan a holiday in Adriatic - Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Comacchio. Comacchio has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
