Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s happening at Rock Island (Rimini). I’m gonna level with you – the next two weeks look rough for any real surf. We’ve got a big dead patch before we see anything worth paddling for.
The forecast kicks off with a flat spell that lasts for ages. From Tuesday, July 7th all the way through the 21st, the swell is either zilch or just tiny, weak dribble. Most days show combined swell energy in the single digits or low double digits – that’s basically the ocean flat-lining. You’ll see plenty of clean, glassy mornings with light winds, but without any swell, it’s just a dead calm paddle. The water temp on the first day is 82°F, which is about 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a big jump, the water feels way warmer than it should. But no waves makes that a tease.
We finally get a pulse on Wednesday, July 22nd. The morning shows a bump to 5ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds – that’s short-period, wind-driven slop. The combined swell energy hits 262 (moderate), which is the first real sign of life. The wind is light and cross-off from the WSW, so it’ll be clean. Still, 5ft on a beach break with such short period won’t be pretty; expect lumpy, soft waves that are maybe alright for a beginner to mess around on. The afternoon sees the swell drop and the wind swing onshore, killing it.
If I’m picking one moment to look at, it’s that Wednesday, July 22nd morning. But don’t get your hopes up – the swell direction is off the ideal, and the period is too short for real power. It’s the best option in a real dry stretch. For the rest of the time? Save your energy. Sometimes it just doesn't fire.
