Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a flat spell out there right now and it’s gonna last a while. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with no real energy to speak of. The first half of the forecast window is basically a write-off for any serious surfing. You’ll be waiting until July 21st before you even get a sniff of something that’s worth paddling out for.
For the first week and a half, from July 10th through to the 20th, the swell is tiny – mostly under 2ft – and the combined energy is pathetic, often in single digits (3 to 27). The wind is all over the place, but the waves just aren’t there. It’s a real bummer, glassy mornings but nothing to ride. The 19th and 20th of July see a bump in size to around 4ft to 4ft, and the energy climbs to 121 and 153 (moderate), but the wind is onshore and cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. The setup is a beach break, so honestly, with that strong wind and poor surf quality, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on the morning of Monday, July 21st. The forecast shows a 3ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds, and a combined energy of 91 (moderate). The wind is light offshore from the ENE, keeping the surface clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no major surprises there.
After that, it drops back down again into tiny, weak waves for the rest of the window. July 22nd has a 1ft swell with a long 9-second period, but the energy is just 19, so it’s not going to do much. The last few days of July are back to flat, glassy mornings with nothing to ride.
So, to sum it up: the only real window to get wet is the morning of July 21st at Viareggio - Royal. It’s a beginner spot that’s inconsistent, so it’s not a guarantee, but with clean offshore wind and a small, rideable swell, it’s your best bet in a very quiet period. Don’t hold your breath for anything else.
Rusty.
