The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at Viareggio - Royal, and for the next 16 days, the surf is mostly a no-show. There’s a big gap of quiet, flat water to start, and it’s not until the 26th of July that we finally see something rideable.
The first real chance at a wave comes on Sunday the 26th of July. The morning kicks off with a risk of thunderstorms, but winds are light and offshore from the east, so it’s clean. Swell is a weak 3 ft from the WSW with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is only moderate at 108. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The afternoon is the standout of the whole outlook. That same day, the swell picks up to 5 ft from the SW, period stretches to 7 seconds, and the energy jumps to 281 (moderate). Winds go cross-offshore from the SE, and conditions are good. This is the best window we’ve got—clean, shoulder-high waves that are pretty forgiving. For a beginner-friendly spot like Royal, this is your moment. Crowds are possible here, so expect some company.
Then it’s back to the doldrums. Monday the 27th of July has a clean 3 ft SW swell in the morning with energy at 141, but it’s nothing special. After that, it’s a long run of tiny, poor surf and flat spells right through to the 6th of August. There’s no real second wind in this forecast. The few hiccups of small, short-period swell from the south on the 5th of August barely register.
To be honest, if you’re not on the water Sunday the 26th, you’re missing the only real window. The rest is a whole lot of nothing. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, that Sunday afternoon is the only one worth paddling out for.
Rusty.
