The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the forecast for Ristorante—also known as La Toscana—and gotta be straight with you: it’s a tough stretch ahead. This reef break is intermediate-friendly and fairly consistent, but over the next 16 days, most of the time the surf is just too small, messy, or onshore to get excited about. There’s a long dry spell in the middle. Let’s break it down.
Starting Friday August 21, we’ve got a tiny 3 ft swell from the south, but with a short period of 5 seconds and a cross-shore breeze, it’s going to be a chop-fest. The combined energy is weak at 90, and conditions are poor. Not worth paddling out. Friday afternoon doesn’t get any better. Saturday morning August 22 sees a drop to 2 ft from the WSW, and while it’s glassy, the period is still short and the swell energy is a measly 33. Still poor surf. That pattern holds through the weekend—small, weak, and mostly onshore or glassy but with no push.
Then from Monday August 24 through Tuesday September 1, there’s basically nothing. A full gap of over a week with zero swell showing up. Some mornings are clean with light offshore winds, but there’s no wave height to speak of. The water temperature on the first morning is 83°, which is a whopping 5° warmer than normal—very unusual for this time of year, so you’ll be swimming in bathwater if you even bother.
The only faint glimmer comes on Wednesday September 2. That morning, we see a 4 ft swell from the south with a 5-second period, and the combined energy hits 115—moderate for once. The wind is light offshore from the east, so conditions are clean. The score is still low, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell direction from the south isn’t ideal for Ristorante’s optimum SW, but it’s surfable. Thursday September 3 morning is similar with 3 ft from the WSW, clean, and energy at 120, but again, nothing special.
After that, Friday September 4 through Saturday September 5 fades back into tiny, weak, onshore slop. Overall, there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The one to keep an eye on is Wednesday September 2 morning—it’s the only time the swell has enough size and clean conditions to make it worth a look, but don’t expect barrels.
