The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it’s going to be a real test of patience around Rocchette (Castiglioni della Pescaia). We’re looking at a long, drawn-out run of tiny or flat conditions with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The first week is pretty much a write-off with weak slop and poor surf. It's not until Thursday, the 10th of September, that we finally see a little pulse of life.
So, here is the pattern. From now until the end of August, it’s all very small swell – up to 3 ft – but with poor surf conditions. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the single digits or up to 53. The wind is a real mix, too, so nothing clean enough to make the most of what little is there. Through the first week of September, things go completely flat for days. We’re talking zero combined energy and "poor surf conditions" from Monday the 31st of August right through until Tuesday the 8th of September. A real dry spell.
The one standout, and I mean the *only* one worth mentioning, is Thursday, the 10th of September in the morning. A clean, glassy morning (light offshore breeze from the ENE at 3 mph) sees a 3 ft south swell creeping in. The period is only 6 seconds, so it’s short-period wind swell, but with moderate combined energy of 122, it’s the best we’ve got. The water temp is about average for the time of year. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but let’s be real – after over a week of flatness, a knee-to-waist high clean wave is a godsend.
So, for the whole 16-day outlook, Thursday, September 10th is your window. The south swell matches the optimum direction for Rocchette, and with that glassy morning wind, it’s the only session that’s genuinely worth a look. Don't expect any power, but you’ll get a board under your arm and a smile on your face.
Rusty.
