The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Rocchette over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s a slow one.
Right now, we’re in a dry spell. The first real chance of a surfable wave doesn’t show up until Friday the 21st of August. Until then, it’s flat with nothing to get excited about. That’s a solid week of waiting.
For the first spot of interest, we’re looking at Rocchette (Castiglioni della Pescaia). The conditions are far from perfect, but come the morning of Friday 21st, we finally see a pulse of swell. We’re talking a small 3 ft wave from the WNW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at (134). The good news is the wind is a light offshore from the ENE, keeping things clean. It’s a beginner-friendly sandbar, so it’ll be small and manageable. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at about 83°F, which is pretty unusual.
As we roll into the second week, things stay marginal. You get a couple of mornings with tiny surf, like Monday the 24th with a 2 ft WNW swell and clean conditions, and then again on Tuesday the 25th with offshore NNE winds. The waves are small though, 2 ft and 3 ft, and the quality is just “ordinary”. It’s not going to blow your mind.
Overall, it’s a pretty lean run. There’s no standout, epic day here. The best of a quiet period is that Friday morning, 21st August. The wind is good, the vibe is clean, but you’ll need a log or a longboard. It’s not a total blank, but it’s close. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window.
Stay tuned, things can change.
Rusty.
