The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in the old measurements.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch ahead. For the next couple of weeks, there’s almost nothing happening at Viareggio - Royal. The swell is virtually dead. From Wednesday the 12th of August right through the 20th, it’s flat. Day after day of glassy mornings, but zero waves to ride.
We get a tiny pulse around Friday the 21st of August – about 5 feet of swell out of the SW, 8-second period, combined wave energy hitting 282 (moderate). The problem is that it’s coming with onshore wind at 12 mph and “poor surf conditions,” so it’s going to be choppy and not worth it. The 22nd and 23rd stay messy.
Then we finally see a couple of highlights, but these are over a week out so keep that in mind. Tuesday morning the 25th of August could be the one. Royal showing nearly 6 feet of SW swell with a 7-second period, and combined energy of 534 (very strong). The morning wind is glassy – just a light air from the SSE, which is a big win for clean surface conditions. The swell direction (SW) is what this spot likes. It’s a bit much for beginners, but for anyone with experience, that glassy morning is the best window in the whole outlook.
Wednesday morning the 26th of August is another good one: around 6 feet out of the WSW, 7-second period, 513 combined energy (strong), with clean offshore breeze from the NE at 6 mph.
After that, it drops back to small stuff quickly.
So, in a nutshell: don’t bother until Tuesday the 25th of August. That Tuesday morning is the real standout – glassy, solid swell, lots of energy. Wednesday morning the 26th is another decent window. Water is much warmer than usual, hitting 84°F – that’s over 7° above average. But these are long-range calls, so keep your eyes peeled. The rest of the 16 days is either flat or ugly.
Rusty.
