The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it.
To be brutally honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Viareggio – Royal. We've got a long, quiet run ahead. From now, Wednesday the 16th, right through until the morning of Friday the 18th, there's just nothing on the cards. The water’s been sitting around the average mark for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Things try to pick their heads up a little on Friday morning, the 18th. We'll see a small 3 ft swell rolling in from the SW, but with a short period of just 6 seconds, it's not going to have much punch. The combined energy is weak at 79. Early doors the wind is offshore from the ENE at 3 mph, so the surface should be clean. I'd call it a knee-high, maybe waist-high max session for the true beginners out there, but honestly, the wave quality is pretty ordinary. It's surfable, but just barely.
After that brief flicker, it’s back to the doldrums. We go into a full week of nothing – from Friday afternoon the 18th all the way to the start of October. There are a few tiny pulses of energy, like a 2 ft swell on the morning of the 30th of September, but the period is still short and the energy is insignificant. It’s all “poor surf conditions.”
If you're desperate and just need to get wet, Friday morning the 18th is your only chance, and it's not much of a chance. It’s a classic flat spell for this area, so don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
