The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s shaping up for our stretch of coast.
Honestly, for the next week or so, it’s a real struggle. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with nothing but tiny, wind-affected slop. Monday the 20th through to Saturday the 26th of July is basically a write-off for any real surfing. You’ll see a few knee-high dribblers here and there, but with onshore winds and next to no energy, it’s just not worth paddling out. Water temps are sitting around a very unusual 83°F for this time of year – that's much warmer than normal here at Rocchette (Castiglioni della Pescaia).
There’s a storm brewing further out, and that finally gives us our one shot. The standout window is Monday morning, the 27th of July. The wind will be light and variable, almost glassy, with those clean offshore breezes from the NW. That incoming swell from the south will have a bit of push, about 4 ft, with a period of 8 seconds – just enough to get it moving. The combined swell energy will be moderate (319), so there’s some actual push behind it. It won’t be huge or perfect, but after this long drought, that’s about the only decent chance you’re going to get to wet a line.
The rest of that week and into the start of August looks pitiful again. By Tuesday the 28th, it’s already backing right off into the small stuff, and we’re back to tiny, clean but weak dribbles. A few days of flatness follow. There’s a little bump of 0.7 ft from the WNW around the 2nd of August, but with such minimal energy (3), it’s really just a wobbly closeout on the sandbar.
So to sum it up: it's mostly a flat, quiet fortnight. Don’t hold your breath. If you’re desperate, pencil in the morning of Monday 27th July – that’s your only real chance at a surf. Otherwise, the board will be gathering dust.
