The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the Viareggio area.
Straight up, there’s a big, long wait for anything worthwhile. We’re looking at a real flat spell for the first week and a half. For days on end, we’re talking about tiny dribbles of swell with next to no energy. The water is sitting at a very unusual 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s pumping.
The first real hope doesn’t show up until Sunday the 16th of August. Sunday morning at Viareggio - Royal sees a bump in the swell to 3ft from the SW, with a moderate 52 units of energy – finally a bit of life. The wind is light offshore from the E, so the morning session will be clean. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and lumpy, but it’s surfable. Sunday afternoon gets messy with onshore wind, so that early window is your only shot.
Monday the 17th of August looks a touch better on paper. The SW swell is still 3ft, but the period stretches to 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 126 units – moderate, punchy energy. The morning is clean with a light offshore from the E, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms. The swell direction is SW, and the optimum for this spot is SW, so it’s lining up nicely. The afternoon gets cross-shore and messy, so again, sunrise is the key.
After that, the energy drops right back off. We get a few more clean mornings from the 18th through the 20th, but the swell is tiny and weak. The morning of Wednesday the 19th of August has a glassy calm with 3ft, but the energy is only 58, and it’s a 6 second period – it’ll be very ordinary. Thursday the 20th of August is similar.
So, the standout is clear: Monday the 17th of August, morning session at Viareggio - Royal. It’s the biggest energy of the whole run, the swell is coming from the right direction, and the wind is offshore for clean conditions. The waves will be around 3ft with a moderate 8 second period, so it’ll be a fun, punchy little wave for a beginner-friendly spot. Keep in mind the crowds are possible here. Sunday the 16th is a decent runner-up, but just a touch weaker.
Don’t get your hopes up for the rest. It’s a long, flat stretch.
Rusty.
