The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for the most part. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny to flat conditions, with only a couple of windows that might get you wet. The water is sitting at a very warm 81°, which is a solid 7° above the norm for this time of year, so that’s a wild anomaly.
The first real chance for a wave comes on the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. Viareggio - Royal (Italy) will see a little bump of swell from the SW. It’s only 3ft with a period of 7 seconds, so not much power behind it, but the combined energy is a weak 85. The wind is blowing light offshore from the E, which will keep it clean. This is your best bet in the whole outlook, but it’s only for the small-wave crew. This spot is inconsistent, so catching it on a day it works is a bit of a treat. Expect crowds to be likely.
The morning of Friday the 11th of September offers a smaller, weaker pulse of 2ft from the SW. The wind is a light cross-off from the ESE, keeping things tidy, but the energy is only 50. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
After that, it’s back to a flat spell right through to the end of the 16-day run. The morning of Tuesday the 15th of September shows a tiny 0.3ft from the S, but that’s more of a ripple than a wave. The afternoon turns glassy with no wind, but again, there’s nothing to ride.
So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate, get out on the Thursday morning the 10th for the best (and pretty much only) proper surf of the period. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.
