The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what’s on the cards for the coming days. Honestly, it's a bit of a grim stretch for us at Ristorante, or La Toscana as some call it. This is a reef setup that's exposed to the SW, and looking at the next couple of weeks, the swell is just not playing ball. There’s a long gap of flat, poor conditions right from the start.
We kick off on Tuesday the 18th with a tiny 3ft WSW swell, but it's got a short, weak 6-second period and the combined energy is a paltry 44. The morning has a light offshore ENE breeze which would clean it up, but with that size and no power, it’s a non-starter. Tuesday afternoon goes from bad to worse with the wind swinging S and picking up, making it choppy.
Wednesday the 19th is almost completely flat. Thursday the 20th has a whisper of 2ft WSW swell in the morning with a clean cross-offshore breeze, but again, it's just too small to be worth paddling out for. This pattern of tiny, weak, poorly-timed swell and onshore wind continues right through the weekend and into the start of the following week. The 25th of August shows a bit of a spike, with a 3ft WSW swell hitting in the afternoon and a combined energy of 107, but it's got a stiff onshore WSW wind of 15 mph, turning the ocean into a washing machine. For a reef like this, that's just messy.
The real kicker is a massive dry spell. From the 27th of August right through to the 2nd of September, there is literally zero swell forecast. The combined energy is a flat zero. The mornings might be glassy or clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Given the persistent small, weak swell and the strong onshore winds that do pop up, this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There's just no window of decent quality surf. It’s a blank run for the books here. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, save your energy.
