The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a write-off for Rock Island (Rimini). There’s just nothing to get excited about. The forecast is a long, flat stretch with barely a ripple worth mentioning, and when there is a little bump, the conditions are ordinary.
We start off on Tuesday the 21st of July with a risk of thunderstorms, a measly 2 ft swell from the ENE at a shocking 4 seconds, and the wind is onshore at 16 mph. The water is sitting at 83°, which is more than 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual. But the surf? Absolutely poor. The combined energy of all swells is a pathetic 8, so don’t even bother.
The next few days barely improve. Wednesday the 22nd has a 4 ft ENE swell, but the period is still a short 6 seconds, and the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore, blowing at 12 mph. The combined energy on Wednesday morning is 87, and that’s about as good as it gets. By Friday the 24th, the swell hits 5 ft from the ENE with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy creeps up to 131 (moderate), but the wind is cross-shore or cross-onshore, and it’s still labeled “poor surf conditions.” That’s the best the whole period has to offer, and it’s not good enough.
We see a glassy moment on Sunday the 26th afternoon with a light north wind and a 2 ft swell from the ESE, but it’s too small. The same goes for a few clean, glassy mornings with near-zero swell. On Wednesday the 29th of July, there’s a brief moment in the morning with a 3 ft ENE swell, 5-second period, 67 combined energy, and glassy conditions – the only time the forecast even says “surfable waves” – but it’s still a 1 out of 10, and it’s tiny.
After that, from the 1st of August onwards, it’s all zeros. Clean offshore winds in the mornings, but no swell at all. There’s a tiny 0.7 ft ESE bump on the 3rd of August morning, but that’s it.
Honestly, this is a classic flat spell for the area. It’s a beach break, and with the wind and tiny swell, it’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. No standout days, no reason to wax up. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
