The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a long, hard look at what's coming our way for this one spot, Ristorante, also known as La Toscana. It's a reef break, exposed to the swell, so it can work, but the next 16 days are a real mixed bag. We've got a major drought of surfable waves on our hands for the first week and a half.
The first real hope doesn't show up until the morning of Friday, 11 September. Up until then, it's a write-off. We're talking small, weak, and choppy conditions. On Monday afternoon (31 August) there's barely 2ft of short-period windswell (4 seconds) but the wind is a messy cross-onshore, so it's not worth paddling out for. The morning of Tuesday, 1 September is glassy but only 2ft, again with a short period. Honestly, the whole stretch from now until the 11th is a lot of flat, tiny, or blown-out junk. You'll see long periods with no energy at all – the combined swell energy reads a flat "0" for many of those sessions. The water's much warmer than normal for this time of year at 84°F.
Now, the one standout in this whole window is the morning of Friday, 11 September. Look, 3ft of swell from the WSW is not huge, but it's the best we get. The period stretches to 6 seconds, and the energy rating bumps up to 67 – moderate, but the most of the entire forecast. The real kicker here is the offshore wind from the East at 3 mph with a cross-offshore flow. The report says "clean" conditions. For a reef break like Ristorante, that glassy, clean water is gold. It's the only session that gets scored as more than just "poor surf conditions" – it's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." For this 16-day stretch, that's the absolute high tide. It's for intermediates, and the crowd can be there sometimes, so be ready to share. There's honestly nothing else to get excited about; the rest of the time the swell either disappears entirely or gets wrecked by onshore winds. It's a long, quiet run.
Rusty.
