The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Gonna be real with you – the next 16 days are a total drought for surf around here. I’ve gone through every single day, and it’s one of those dead periods where the ocean just clocks out. There’s a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions starting right now and running for over a week. The water is a warm 82°, running about 7° warmer than normal for this time of year, which is very unusual.
We start on Friday, September 4th, with nothing. Zero combined energy. That flat spell hangs around for a solid week. By Sunday the 6th, we get a tiny 0.7ft south swell, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds, generating only 3 units of combined energy. The morning of the 10th of September has a light offshore wind with a 1ft SSW swell and a 5-second period, but the combined energy is still only 18. You could paddle a log out there, but you won’t be surfing.
The only real blink of hope comes around September 15th. Tuesday the 15th shows a little bump in the afternoon – a 2ft south swell, still only 4 seconds, giving us 7 units of combined energy. The wind is a fresh cross-offshore, so the surface might be clean, but it’s got no push. The next day, Wednesday the 16th, has a similar 1ft SSW swell with a 5-second period and 16 units of combined energy. That’s the high point, and it’s still a sad one.
Because the swell is so tiny and weak, the difficulty doesn’t really matter – it’s not big enough to be a problem for anyone. But the lack of consistency is the big story. Rocchette (Castiglioni della Pescaia) is a sandbar that is fairly consistent, but it needs swell to work. Right now, there’s just nothing backing it up. The combined energy stays under 100 for the whole 16 days, which means it’s all weak, dribbly junk. For a spot like this, a blank run is pretty normal when the weather patterns stall.
So, I’d say leave the boards in the car. Check back in with me later, and we’ll see if the long-range models start to cough something up. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.
