The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next two weeks at Rock Island (Rimini) are about as flat and frustrating as it gets. We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead, and there’s hardly a wave to get excited about. The water is sitting at a very unusual 81°F, much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when the ocean is taking a nap.
The first real pulse doesn’t even show up until Sunday the 19th morning, and even then it’s barely a whisper. We’re looking at a tiny 3ft swell out of the ENE with a period of 6 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswill with combined energy of just 88. The wind is a light cross-onshore out of the North, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Honestly, it’s marginal at best. That afternoon the wind picks up onshore and the swell drops off. Not a session to bother with.
Monday the 20th morning sees a similar 4ft ENE swell, still with that short 5-second period (energy 81), and light cross-shore wind. It’s poor surf – small, weak, and messy. The afternoon gets a little more push with 4ft and energy up to 147, but that onshore NNE breeze at 9 mph kills it dead. Tuesday the 21st is more of the same: onshore wind all day, 4ft ENE swell in the morning (energy 167) then fading fast. Everything gets a “poor surf conditions” tag. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday the 22nd morning offers a tiny bit of relief – 3ft from the East, period of 5 seconds (energy 31), and a light cross-offshore wind from the West. The surface will be clean, but the waves are just too small and weak to ride with any joy. The rest of the week is a ghost town, with zeros and tiny scraps until Sunday the 26th. That Sunday morning you might see 2ft from the East, period 4 seconds (energy 16), with glassy conditions – but it’s so small it’s barely a ripple. After that, it’s back to nothing through the end of the month.
Look, the breaks here are fairly consistent, so this blank run is unusual. Forecasts can change, but for now, there are no standout days, no real swells. If you’re desperate, the cleanest window is Wednesday the 22nd morning, but don’t expect much. For experts only when it’s over 8ft – and we’re nowhere near that. This whole setup is more suited for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now.
Stay patient, check back later.
