Right, grab a coffee, let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Viareggio – Royal. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. Honestly, for the first week and a half it’s pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that just aren’t worth getting wet for. The combined swell energy is down in the single digits (7) on the 11th, and it barely gets a pulse going. You’ll be seeing a lot of glassy mornings but with next to nothing to ride, so save your wax.
The first real sign of life arrives on the morning of Monday, 20th July. The water temperature is sitting at 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. That morning we see a jump to 2ft from the SW, with a clean offshore breeze from the E at 6 mph. The energy is still weak (27), but it’s a start. The afternoon picks up to 3ft, though the wind swings onshore, making it a bit messy.
Now, the standout. The real excitement is the morning of Tuesday, 21st July. That’s the one to circle. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the SW, with a clean offshore wind from the E at 3 mph. The combined energy jumps to 770 (moderate to strong), and the conditions are described as “very good.” That’s a solid, punchy size that’s best for the experienced crew—beginners might find it a handful. It’s a beach break setup, so with that period around 7 seconds, it’ll be a bit more walled up, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be peeling nicely. Expect crowds to be likely here, as it’s “often” busy.
After that, Wednesday and Thursday mornings (22nd and 23rd July) keep the fun going with 5ft SW swell and clean winds, offering good surf with energy readings around 295 and 345. The Friday morning (24th July) is similar with 5ft and clean cross-offshore winds. The 25th July morning sees a drop to 4ft, but it’s glassy, so you’ll still get a few fun ones.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week wakes up. The absolute best on offer is the morning of the 21st, with that 7ft SW swell and glassy conditions. After that, the mornings of the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th are solid secondary options. Get on it.
