The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a quiet stretch for Portonovo (la Nave). The whole 16-day window is pretty much a flat spell. We’ve got a run of days with barely a ripple, and there’s a big gap from the 2nd of August right through to the 6th where there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The water is a warm 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s firing.
The first bit of the forecast, starting Wednesday the 22nd, is a no-go. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft of swell from the NE with a short 4-second period and weak wave energy (9). The wind is glassy in the morning, but the swell is just too small and weak to do anything with. It’s a poor surf condition all the way through.
Thursday the 23rd is dead flat, and Friday the 24th sees a tiny bump of 3ft from the ENE with a 6-second period. The energy is still weak (65), and the wind is cross-onshore, chopping it up. Not worth a second look.
The only faint glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 27th. The morning shows a 2ft swell from the ESE with a 7-second period (50). The wind is cross-offshore and clean, which is nice, but the swell is still tiny and weak. There’s a risk of thunderstorms, but the surf is still poor. After that, it’s back to flat or near-flat conditions all the way through to the 6th of August.
Look, there’s just no standout here. The swell is too small, the energy is weak, and the conditions are never on. For a spot like this, a blank run is pretty normal. It’s a waiting game. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, don’t bother waxing up.
Rusty.
