The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Alright, let’s have a proper look at what’s on the menu for Rocchette (Castiglioni della Pescaia) over the next 16 days.
First off, I won’t beat around the bush: this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a real dry spell to start. From Friday the 14th of August all the way through, it’s mostly flat or just tiny slop. There’s nothing worth wetting a board for until we hit Thursday the 27th of August – that’s nearly two weeks of waiting. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 83°, which is a wild 6° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, and you’ll definitely notice it.
So, the only faint glimmer in this whole forecast comes on Thursday the 27th of August. On the Thursday morning, we see a tiny pulse of swell creeping in: 2 ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 83, but it’s the best we’ve got. An offshore wind from the ENE at 6 mph is keeping things clean. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – and I’d agree. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. After that, it drops straight back to nothing on the Friday.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The whole 16-day run is a bust. Rocchette is a sandbar setup, fairly consistent normally, but this forecast has nothing on offer. It’s one of those stretches where you leave the boards in the car and enjoy the beach.
Stay patient, mate. It tends not to stay this quiet for long here.
Rusty.
