The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Viareggio – Royal.
Truth is, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for this spot. The water’s running way warmer than usual – about 83°F, which is more than 8°F above normal for this time of year – so if you’re just after a paddle, it’s lovely, but for actual surfing, there’s barely a ripple.
The first real chance at something rideable comes on Saturday 18th July afternoon, but with only 2 ft of weak 6-second swell from the SW and a gentle onshore breeze, it’s messy and no good. Sunday 19th morning is the best we get: a tiny 3 ft SW swell, still short period at 6 seconds, but with a light cross-offshore SE breeze at 6 mph, it might be just about surfable if you’re a beginner and don’t mind ordinary conditions. The combined energy is only 56 – that’s weak. After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Sunday afternoon right through to the morning of Sunday 26th July, there’s basically nothing – flat spells, glassy mornings, but no swell. The energy drops to single digits or zero. The only tiny blip is Sunday 26th July morning, with 2 ft SW swell and a light offshore, but it’s still poor and not worth getting excited about. Then it’s back to flat again through the end of July and into early August.
This break is inconsistent and really only works when the SW groundswell lines up with clean offshore winds, but we’re just not seeing that in the forecast. The one decent window on the 19th is small and ordinary – not a standout. Honestly, if you’re determined to get wet, you’d be better off with a kiteboard when the breeze picks up, because the wave quality is just not there for a paddle.
Stay patient, folks. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a quiet run.
