The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days for Viareggio are a tough stretch. Don’t get your hopes up. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple.
The outlook starts with a quiet ocean. The first recommendation for a surf doesn’t really come until Friday the 11th of September, and even then, it’s a struggle. Before that, from Monday the 7th right through to Thursday the 10th, the combined energy is stuck at single-digit or low numbers (1 to 13) – that’s basically no wave energy at all. Thursday the 10th sees a fleeting 1.0ft to 1.3ft of swell from the WSW, but with a risk of thunderstorms, it’s a write-off.
Friday the 11th of September morning is the only real blip on the radar. Viareggio - Royal finally sees a pulse of energy. The combined energy jumps to 112 (moderate), with a 4.3ft swell from the WSW and a short period of 5 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell, so it’ll be a bit messy. The wind is glassy from the East at 3 mph, which is a major positive for clean conditions. But the trough is still showing “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”. It’s not a standout, just the best of a bad bunch. The water temperature is a toasty 82°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual.
After that brief moment, it’s back to the doldrums. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th drop off to almost nothing, with energy in the toilet (1 to 12). The rest of the week and into the second week, from the 14th right up to the 22nd of September, is a total blank. The combined energy is zero or just 1 or 2. There’s nothing on offer.
If you’re desperate, the only window is Friday the 11th morning at Viareggio - Royal, but even then, it’s barely worth paddling out for. The crowd profile says “often” there, which is a bit of a joke given the lack of waves. It’s an inconsistent spot, and this run proves it.
Stay patient, folks. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.
