The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Well, I’m gonna level with you – this 16-day window is a bit of a tough one for our region. Looking at the forecast for Rocchette (Castiglioni della Pescaia), it's a real slow period. There’s a big gap of surfable days, or rather, days with any real size to speak of. We’ve got a few small pulses, but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing.
The first recommendation is for Thursday, 30 July. Thursday morning sees a tiny 0.3ft of south swell with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 1 (weak energy). The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNW, which is clean, but the swell is just too weak to do anything with. It’s a beginner-friendly sandbar, but it's "poor surf conditions" across the board for the first week or so. Water temperature is a very notable 82°, which is 5° warmer than usual – that’s *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your wettie.
The pattern doesn't really improve. We see a few tiny pulses: 0.7ft on Sunday morning, 2nd August, and a 2ft on Tuesday afternoon, 4th August, but that one has a 3-second period (absolute mush) and onshore wind. The combined energy never gets above 7 (still weak). The rest of the days are mostly flat with clean, glassy conditions, but no swell to speak of. There’s a long gap of absolutely nothing rideable from the 5th of August right through to the 9th of August, where we get a tiny 1ft SSW swell on Sunday morning, 9th August. Again, it’s clean, but the energy is 7 (weak) and the period is 5 seconds.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best on offer is probably the early morning of Sunday, 9th August, with that 1ft SSW swell and glassy conditions. It won’t be a classic, but it’s the cleanest window. For anything else, you’re waiting for a better forecast. The setup is a sandbar, and with the energy so low, it’s more of a paddle-around day than a surf day. Keep your eyes peeled for a change in the charts.
Rusty.
