The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, and the first week or so is pretty much dead. The only real window of interest is a pulse of swell coming in around Wednesday the 9th of September, but even that has its quirks.
The pattern starts with a whole lot of flatness. From Thursday the 3rd right through until Tuesday the 8th, we’re looking at tiny waves – 1ft down to nothing. The water temp is 81°F, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year – over 7° warmer, so it’s a proper anomaly. But that doesn’t matter when there’s no surf. There’s a gap of almost six days with no real rideable waves.
Then, on the morning of Wednesday the 9th, things finally turn. Viareggio – Royal picks up a 8ft SW swell with an 8-second period, and the combined energy coming in is solid – moderate to strong at 944. The wind is light and offshore from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. But here’s the catch: the swell is right on the edge of being too big for beginners, and the break is inconsistent, so don’t expect it to be pumping all day. The afternoon sees the wind shift cross-onshore, making it choppy, so the morning is the only window. If you’re an experienced surfer, this is the standout for the whole 16-day outlook – but it’s a one-shot deal.
After that, it fades fast. Thursday the 10th morning has a 2ft WSW swell with clean offshore wind, but it’s weak (energy of 75), and then it’s back to flat and poor conditions from Friday the 11th right through to the end of the period. There’s a tiny 2ft bump on the 17th, but it’s onshore and messy.
So, the long and short of it: the only real surf is that Wednesday 9th September morning session. Everything else is a waiting game. Hang in there – the forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a quiet spell.
Rusty.
