The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks at our local spot.
Right now, we're looking at a pretty bleak stretch, I'm not gonna lie. There's a big gap of tiny, weak surf with almost no energy to speak of before anything gets interesting. We've got a solid week of flat to near-flat conditions coming up.
The only break in the lineup worth talking about is Viareggio - Royal. It's a beginner-friendly, exposed spot that likes a SW swell. The first real day with any pulse is on Sunday, August 30th. You'll see some small, surfable waves at about 3ft from the WSW. The combined energy is weak (52), and the water is a notable 81°, which is over three degrees warmer than usual for this time of year. But the wind is offshore from the ENE in the morning, which will keep it clean. At 3ft, it's pretty small, and because it’s inconsistent, you'll be doing more waiting than riding.
After that, it goes back to almost nothing for over a week. The conditions from Monday, 31st through to Saturday, 12th of September are poor, with combined swell energy mostly sitting below 10. The wind stays good – light and offshore on many mornings – but there's just no swell to work with. The tide or lack of wave height will keep you on the beach.
Things finally start to turn around for Monday, 14th of September. That's your standout window. Fair warning, it's a long way out, so temper the excitement. The morning session looks promising with a cleaner 4ft swell from the SW. The combined energy jumps up to a moderate 206, meaning there's finally some real push behind it. The period bumps up to 8 seconds, which is a bit more organised than the short-period dribble we've seen. Even though the afternoon goes onshore, those morning hours with the ENE breeze offshore should produce the best waves of the whole forecast. It's a pretty small zone overall, but this is the one to circle on the calendar.
So, to sum it up: Flat for a long spell, then a potential morning session on September 14th at Royal is your best and only real shot. Don't hold your breath on the rest.
