The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. The data shows a real dry spell with no real surf on offer for the entire 16-day window. We’re looking at a long gap from the start right through to the end, with hardly a ripple to get excited about.
The first hint of anything is on Friday the 1st of August morning, but it’s just a tiny 2ft from the SW with a short 5 second period. The combined energy is a weak 13, so it’s barely a bump. The wind is light from the E so it’s glassy, but there’s just no power behind it. The whole first week is a write-off: tiny swells, often under 2ft, and very short periods. The water is a warm 84°F which is much warmer than normal for the time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.
There’s a little more activity around the 10th of August, with a morning swell of 1.0ft from the WSW, but with a period of 8 seconds it’s still very weak. The combined energy is only 16. The wind is offshore from the NE, so it’ll be clean, but it’s just too small. The afternoon picks up a touch to 2ft from the SW but with a cross-onshore wind from the W, it’s not going to be pretty.
The standout – if you can call it that – is Viareggio - Royal. It’s a beginner spot, so the tiny stuff is all it ever gets, but it’s inconsistent and often crowded. The swell direction is mostly from the SW, which is not the optimum SW direction the spot prefers. The best conditions you’ll see are on the 10th of August morning with that weak 1.0ft swell and a clean offshore breeze. Even then, it’s barely worth paddling out for.
The second week is even more barren. From the 11th of August onward, it’s flat to tiny, with combined energy values dropping to single digits. By the 14th and 15th of August, there’s literally zero swell energy. The wind is variable, but it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing to ride.
Honestly, for this stretch, you’re better off taking a break. The setup is so poor that even the tiny, clean conditions won’t produce a decent ride. For a spot like this, a blank run isn’t unusual, but it’s a bummer.
Rusty.
