The Lowdown
Right, bit of a quiet one ahead for us here. To be honest, the next 16 days are looking pretty flat for the most part, with only a tiny window of anything rideable. The water is sitting at a very warm 81°, which is a good 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a real standout, and it's going to feel like a bath out there.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Sunday, July 19th. Viareggio - Royal is exposed to the SW, and we'll see a small pulse of swell. On Sunday morning, a 3ft SW groundswell with a period of 7 seconds will be pushing in. The combined energy is pretty weak at only 83, so don't expect much power. The wind will be a light offshore breeze from the ENE, which will keep it clean. This is a beginner-friendly spot, but it's also inconsistent, so you'll have to be patient. The afternoon goes a bit messy with a cross-onshore wind.
After that brief flurry, it's back to nothing. We've got a long gap from Sunday afternoon all the way through to the end of the period. There's a tiny, tiny blip on Tuesday, July 28th morning with a 0.7ft swell, but that's barely a ripple. It's a classic summer flat spell for this area, so it's not unusual. The wind does look good on a few of those flat days, with glassy conditions, but there's no swell to ride.
So, the only real note is Sunday morning, July 19th, at Viareggio - Royal. It's small, it's weak, and it's inconsistent, but with that clean offshore wind, it's the only game in town. Otherwise, it's time to find something else to do for a while.
