The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing happening, so don’t get your hopes up for any kind of magic. The water is running about 83° which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, feels like a bath out there.
The first real surf we see is a tiny pulse on the 18th. It’s not much – maybe 4ft of swell coming from the southwest, but the energy is still weak at 103. Tuesday morning has a bit of cross-shore breeze, but the surf is poor. It’s small and messy, not worth rushing out for. The afternoon doesn’t do us any favours either, dropping a bit in size with a cross-onshore wind. It’s going to be a frustrating start to that week.
Now, the best of the bunch, and I say this with a heavy heart, is the Wednesday morning on the 19th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the closest we get to something semi-decent. The swell is still small at 3ft from the west-southwest, but the wind is light offshore from the northeast, which will make it glassy and clean. The energy is still on the low side at 81, and it’s a wave for the beginners really. It’s an inconsistent break at *Viareggio - Royal* (Viareggio) at the best of times, so don’t expect a crowded lineup, but if you’re just wanting to get wet on a board, that’s the one. The surf quality is just “surfable but very ordinary,” but with clean conditions, it’s the only window that offers any sort of shape.
After that, it’s a drop-off again. The energy fades back to nothing, and we’re back to ankle-biters and flat spells for the rest of the window. The long-range stuff past the 20th is just not worth planning around. Just pray for a change in the forecast, because as it stands, it’s a long, flat haul. Keep it on the radar, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car.
