The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Portigliolo’s got cookin’.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next sixteen days are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a little bump of swell on Monday the 27th, but it’s not gonna give us anything clean. The water’s sitting at a very warm 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a bit of a strange one.
Monday morning sees a 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 586, but the wind is onshore from the WNW at 6 mph, so it’ll be messy. By Monday afternoon, it gets worse with a cross-onshore breeze. After that, it’s pretty much a write-off for the rest of the week. We’ve got a long gap from Tuesday the 28th all the way through until Monday the 11th of August. There are tiny little knee-high waves here and there, but everything is rated as poor surf. You’ll see some glassy mornings on the 29th, 30th, 2nd, and 3rd of August, but the swell is basically flat (0.7ft to 1ft) with no energy at all.
The one and only standout, and I mean the *only* one, comes on Tuesday the 11th of August. It’s a long way out, so keep your expectations in check. The afternoon shows a 3ft swell from the west with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy of 112, which is weak. But with the onshore wind from the WNW at 16 mph, it’s going to be blown out and messy. Honestly, even that isn’t worth getting excited about.
Given the constant poor conditions, tiny swell, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, this setup looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for pretty much the entire outlook. It’s a disappointing run, but for a spot that’s inconsistent, this kind of blank spell isn’t all that unusual.
Rusty.

Information about the Portigliolo Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Portigliolo provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Portigliolo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Portigliolo 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 (Portigliolo) 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 Portigliolo 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.
