The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – we've got a lean run ahead for Viareggio - Royal. The next 16 days are looking at a whole lot of flatness with only tiny, weak pulses. We're not talking about any kind of proper surf, just small dribbles that aren't worth paddling out for. There's a stretch from now through to the end of September where the swell energy is simply not there.
We start with Monday September 14th, and it's a dead flat calm with no swell at all. The water temp is sitting at a remarkable 80° – that's 9° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual indeed. Tuesday the 15th offers a pathetic 0.3 ft of SW swell with a short 4-second period, so that's barely a ripple.
Thursday September 17th morning sees a tiny 1 ft SW swell with a 4-second period with offshore wind from the east – at least it's clean, but still hardly rideable. The afternoon bumps up slightly to 3 ft from the SSW with a 6-second period, but we're only looking at weak wave energy (43) and there's a risk of thunderstorms. Not your day.
Friday September 18th is the closest we get to anything. The morning brings 4 ft from the WSW with a 7-second period and offshore east wind. The combined energy finally hits moderate territory at 134. This is still ordinary surf though – small, weak, messy. For a beginner, that 4 ft is small enough, but the quality isn't there. We've also got a risk of thunderstorms in the afternoon. That's the best the whole 16 days has to offer, and it's barely a chest-high sloppy wave.
From Saturday September 19th onwards it rapidly fades. We get a few mornings with clean offshore winds and tiny 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft swells from the south, but with periods climbing to 9 seconds on September 25th, it's just not enough wave height. The afternoons all get cross-onshore wind messing them up anyway.
We get a glassy morning on September 27th with a 1.0 ft swell from the SSW, but again, it's just too small. With no proper swell on the cards, this stretch looks way more promising for a beach day or a swim than for surfing. If you're desperate, the Friday 18th morning offers the only glimpse of a rideable wave. For the rest, it's a long blank run.
Rusty.
