The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Grab a perch and let's see what's cookin' down at Rocchette. Lookin’ at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with ya—this is one of those tough stretches where the ocean just isn’t playing ball. There’s a long, dry gap with no real swell to speak of, and a whole lot of flatness.
We start off on Friday the 24th of July with barely a whisper. Swell is a tiny 0.7 ft from the west with a real short period of only 4 seconds, so the energy is basically non-existent. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NE, but there’s just nothing to ride. That theme carries on right through the weekend. Saturday the 25th is a complete write-off, and Sunday the 26th sees a bump of 4 ft from the south around 6 seconds, with moderate wave energy, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the SE at 16 mph making it choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.
We get a little hope on Tuesday morning the 28th. There’s a clean 2 ft from the south, a period of 7 seconds, with a light offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph. The combined energy is still weak, but those conditions would be glassy if there was any power. It’s rideable for a beginner on a log, but it’s not what I’d call a session.
After that, things go quiet again. Wednesday the 29th through to Saturday the 8th of August is a massive flat spell. There are a few tiny ripples of 0.3 ft or 0.7 ft here and there with barely any energy, but honestly, you’re better off leaving the board at home.
The single best window in this whole outlook is Tuesday morning the 28th. At Rocchette (Castiglioni della Pescaia), the water is sitting at a very warm 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The conditions will be clean with that light offshore breeze, but you’re looking at small, weak south swell. It’s a sandbar setup that’s fairly consistent when there’s swell, and the best direction for it is a south-southwest. This isn’t a standout session by any stretch—just the least bad option in a very flat period. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but on a day like this, you’ll probably have it to yourself.
Hold tight, the forecasts can shift, but right now, the ocean’s telling us to take a break.
