The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s a tough stretch for anyone looking to get a wave. There’s no way around it: this is a quiet, frustrating period. We’ve got a whole lot of flat days ahead, so if you’re jonesing for a surf, you might want to find another hobby for a bit.
To give you the full picture, we’re looking at a run of days with nothing rideable until we get a little bump of energy mid-week. The first real, barely-there pulse arrives on Wednesday the 12th, but it’s not going to get anyone excited. We’re talking tiny, short-period windswell, not the kind of stuff that makes you want to paddle out. The water is warm, though, at about 87°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you do get in for a swim, it’ll be pleasant. But for surfing? Forget it.
The gap from now until Wednesday is a dead zone. No swell, no energy, nothing. Just clean, empty water. It’s the kind of quiet that makes you check your board for dings.
Then, on Wednesday the 12th, we see a tiny pulse of east swell. It’s small, maybe 2ft to 2ft, with a short period of 5 seconds. The energy is weak, as you can see from the combined energy readings of just 11 and 20. There’s a bit of morning cross-offshore wind, but the afternoon turns messy with a cross-onshore breeze. This is not a surf day; this is a “look at the ocean and sigh” day. For anyone thinking about paddling out, this is really only for the most optimistic of beginners, and even then, it’s a struggle.
The rest of the week continues in the same vein. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th offer nothing but tiny, short-period dribbles. The mornings are clean, but the swell is just not there. The energy readings are in the low single digits, which tells you everything you need to know. It’s all very pretty to look at, but useless for surfing.
The weekend is a complete write-off. Saturday the 15th has a tiny 0.7ft bump with a 4-second period, and the energy is a paltry 1. The morning is glassy, which is the only positive, but with no swell, it’s just a flat, shiny lake. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th are completely flat. The wind is offshore, but there’s nothing for it to groom. It’s just a whole lot of nothing.
We’ll see a similar pattern roll through the following week. The mornings from Tuesday the 18th through Thursday the 20th are mostly clean, but the swell is essentially non-existent. There’s a tiny, 1ft blip on Tuesday afternoon, but it’s from the north with a 4-second period and the energy is just a 2. It’s nothing. The wind will be up a bit, making it choppy and unpleasant.
The second week is a real test of patience. The long-range outlook is grim, with no signs of any real groundswell. Friday the 21st brings a strong southwesterly breeze—25 mph—kicking up some chop, but there’s no swell to go with it. It’s just messy. The following days offer a mix of clean mornings and light onshore afternoons, but it’s all flat. There’s a chance of a thunderstorm on the morning of Sunday the 23rd, but that’s about the only excitement on offer.
The bottom line is this: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The break, Marina Romea, is a river-mouth setup that's inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch is a prime example of that. It’s a blank run, which is pretty normal for this area when the swell windows close up. But don’t lose hope. These flat spells don’t usually last forever, and the forecasts can change. I’ll keep an eye on it, and if anything shifts, I’ll let you know. For now, keep the board in the car, but maybe just look at it longingly.
Stay patient.
Rusty.

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.
