The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the charts for Rock Island (Rimini). Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a real test of patience. The swell window’s just not lining up with what we need right now.
The water is running at a balmy 82°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s nice for a swim, but it doesn't help the surf.
We kick off Tuesday the 25th with almost nothing. A tiny 1.0ft ESE swell with a super short period of 4 seconds and weak energy (2). The wind is cross-on from the NNE at a light 3 mph, so it’s bumpy, but honestly, the lack of any real swell is the bigger issue. This pattern of tiny, weak swell and poor conditions stretches out for days.
There are a couple of moments that look clean, like Thursday the 27th morning when it goes glassy, and Saturday the 29th afternoon when it’s glassy again with a 1ft swell. But that’s still tiny, short-period stuff. It’s not surfable in any meaningful way.
The real problem is a long, flat run. From Tuesday afternoon, right through until the tail end of the 7th of September, it’s a ghost town. Days of zeros on the energy scale.
Now, there is a flicker of life on Monday the 7th of September afternoon. A 3ft swell from the NE creeps in, with a 6-second period and moderate energy (46). The wind is cross from the NW at 9 mph, so it’s a bit messy. Not a standout, but at least there’s something to look at.
The best potential in the whole window is Tuesday the 8th of September morning. We see a 3ft swell from the NE, with a 6-second period and moderate wave energy (126). The wind is cross-off from the WNW at 9 mph, which should keep the surface clean. This is the only period that offers a glimpse of something rideable, but it’s still just a tiny, lumpy beach break. For a beginner, that 3ft is manageable, but the quality isn't great.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day run, there isn't a single standout. The forecast is barren. It picks up slightly on the 7th and 8th of September, but that’s the best we’ve got, and it’s a long way off. Keep the board in the car, but don't hold your breath.
