The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s doing for us at Rocchette (Castiglioni della Pescaia).
Mate, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run ahead. We’re looking at a proper flat spell stretching from now right through to the end of September. From Wednesday the 16th right through to Tuesday the 30th, the swell is tiny – we’re talking wave heights barely scraping 0.6 ft to 2 ft at best, with combined wave energy scraping the bottom of the barrel (values between 0 and 25). That’s not surf, that’s a lake with a ripple. For most of that time, the water is glassy clean thanks to some nice offshore light winds, but there's no power behind it to make a wave worth paddling for. The only time we see a bit of push is Thursday the 17th when a strong onshore southerly hits at 19 mph, but that's just going to turn it into a choppy, blown-out mess on a 3 ft, 4-second slop. Not worth a look.
Now, we do get a flicker of hope as we roll into October. On the morning of Thursday the 1st, we finally see some proper energy arrive: a 3 ft swell from the SSE, with combined energy jumping to 63 – that’s a significant jump from the nothing we’ve seen. The wind is cross-offshore from the NE at a fresh 19 mph, which should keep the surface clean. By the afternoon, it builds a touch more to 4 ft from the SSE, with moderate wave energy (100). The swell period is only around 5-6 seconds, so it’s not a long-period groundswell – more of a localised bump – but still, it's the only real surf on offer in the whole 16-day window. The wind holds clean cross-off.
This is a sandbar break, and while it’s not going to be epic, with such light crowds (sometimes), this might be your only chance for a few knee-to-waist high runners. If the wind holds, it’ll be makeable. It's not a standout in the classic sense, but honestly, it’s the *only* stand-out in a desert of flatness.
Water temp right at the start is a very unusual 79°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a proper anomaly – you won’t need a spring suit for the first session, that’s for sure.
Hang in there, crew. It’s a dry spell, but it can’t stay this way forever.
Rusty.
