The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty checking in. Gotta be straight with you – Viareggio – Royal is looking like a desert for waves right now. We have a long, flat run ahead. The water temp is a balmy 82°, way warmer than usual for this time of year.
The first tiny glimmer of hope is on the morning of Thursday, September 12th. There’s a weak 1 ft south-west swell, combining for a puny combined energy of 8, but the ENE offshore breeze at 3 mph will keep it clean. Beginners might find one or two little ones, but nothing more.
After that, it’s basically flat until the morning of Thursday, September 17th. You’ll see a 2 ft south-west swell with a combined energy of 18, and again, a light offshore from the ENE helping out. It’s clean but very small.
The best of a bad bunch looks to be the morning of Saturday, September 19th. That same 2 ft south-west swell, combined energy of 13, with an offshore ENE wind at 6 mph. It’ll be clean for the beginners, but there’s no power behind it. The rest of the forecast period is a whole lot of nothing – tiny, weak pulses that aren't worth a paddle.
Honest truth: this is a kite surfer’s forecast, not a surfer’s. For a paddle, you’re just staring at glassy water with no push. Come back another time.
Rusty.
