The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s doing for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for days on end. The good news is that when there’s a pulse, the water is something else. The water temp is sitting at a toasty 82°F at the start, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a bath.
The standout window, if you can call it that, is the Saturday 18th July morning session at Viareggio - Royal. It’s not much, but it’s the best we’ve got. You’ll find a tiny 3ft swell from the SW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (54). The reason this gets a mention is the glassy conditions – zero wind, dead calm, which will make that little bit of swell look as clean as a whistle. It’s an exposed beach, so it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks properly, but if you’re a beginner, that’s your window. The crowds are likely to be around, but with this little swell, it won’t be packed.
The Sunday 19th July morning is also worth a mention. Same tiny 3ft SW swell, but with a light offshore breeze from the East. It’ll be clean, but again, very weak energy (56).
After that, it’s a desert. From Monday 20th July right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at waves that are either non-existent or too small to bother with. There’s a few mornings with tiny 0.3ft to 1ft bumps and offshore winds, but honestly, you’re just chasing shadows. The 30th and 31st of July have a tiny 1ft pulse from the S, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and messy.
Forget the afternoons – they’re all onshore and poor. This is a period where the forecast can change, but right now, it looks like a blank run for the area. If you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for that Saturday 18th morning glass-off.
Rusty.
