The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Ristorante, or as some call it, La Toscana.
To be straight with you, mate, this stretch of the coast is looking flat as a pancake for the foreseeable. We are talking about a proper dry spell with barely a ripple for most of the 16-day run. The first surfable day I can see with any kind of recommendation isn’t until Friday morning, the 21st of August, and even then it’s a humble offering. The water temp is sitting at 84 °F, which is a whopping 6 °F warmer than usual for this time of year – definitely notable if you’re used to a bit of a chill.
The long dry spell
From now until the 21st of August, forget it. We’ve got days of glassy mornings, but with zero to tiny swell – mostly you’d be floating. The afternoons get chopped up by a strong westerly cross-onshore wind, so there’s nothing to get excited about. There is a brief pulse on the 18th of August – Tuesday morning sees a 2 ft swell from the WSW with a 6-second period, but it’s still flagged as poor surf. The combined energy is weak (32). The afternoon pushes up to 4 ft from the same direction, with a moderate energy reading (142), but it's crossed up by that westerly wind and still considered poor. Not worth the paddle.
The only real nod
Friday morning, the 21st of August, is the one window that gets a shout. We’ll have a 3 ft swell from the WSW, a 6-second period, and combined energy still modest at 68. What makes it worthwhile is the wind – dead calm, glassy conditions. The swell direction (WSW) is not perfect for this reef, which prefers a SW direction, but it’s close. For a reef break, the period is short (6 seconds), so it won't have the grunt or the shape of a long-period groundswell. Still, on a reef like Ristorante, that glassy clean water will make it the best we’ve seen for weeks. The crowds here are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it’s a fairly consistent spot so it shouldn’t be a circus.
That’s your lot. Anything past that 21st stays marginal. It’s a long waiting game.
