The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The outlook for the next 16 days is a real challenge. We’re looking at a long stretch of very small, weak surf with only a few brief moments of potential. The first record of any surf is on the 26th of July, but then we hit a massive gap of almost no waves.
From Sunday afternoon the 26th of July, the surf at Rocchette (Castiglioni della Pescaia) is tiny. We’re talking about 3ft of short-period swell from the south, a weak 6 second period, and the combined energy is a very low 39. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NW at 12 mph, which keeps the surface clean, but the wave energy is just pathetic. The water temperature is a very unusual 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Monday the 27th doesn’t offer any improvement. The swell drops to 2ft and then 2ft, with poor cross and cross-onshore winds. The energy is in the 40-75 range, which is about as weak as it gets. From Tuesday the 28th of July right through to the 5th of August, there is virtually nothing. The combined energy hovers between 0 and 14, with most days showing zero surfable energy. You’d be better off finding a swimming spot.
The first real sign of life comes on Sunday the 2nd of August, with a glassy morning and a tiny 1.0ft windswell from the WNW, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds and the energy is just 3. It’s more of a ripple than a wave. The same goes for the 7th of August, with a glassy morning showing 1.0ft from the SSW at 5 seconds, but again, the energy (9) is too low to get excited about.
Honestly, there is no standout session here. The entire 16-day window is dominated by flat spells and weak, short-period, low-energy surf. The best on offer is arguably the glassy morning of the 7th of August, but even that is for the most patient of surfers on a foam board. The conditions are clean, but the swell is just not there. If you’re looking to paddle, you might be out of luck. The consistent lack of swell and clean conditions with light winds actually makes this setup look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Rusty.
