The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch ahead for Viareggio - Royal is about as flat as it gets. There’s barely a ripple on offer across the whole 16-day window, so if you’re chasing waves, you’ll be waiting a long time. Let’s run through it.
We start this Sunday morning, September 6th, with a tiny 1ft swell out of the southwest, period a weak 5 seconds, and combined energy of just 7 – that’s real low energy. The water’s sitting at 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, nearly 9° above average – that’s very unusual. Sunday morning’s glassy with light east-northeast winds, but with surf that small, it’s not doing anything. By Sunday afternoon, it drops to 1ft and turns onshore. Monday morning the 7th sees a pathetic 0.3ft, and from Monday afternoon all the way through to the 21st, we’re looking at either zero surf or tiny dribbles – nothing above 2ft, and most days showing no wave height at all. There’s a long gap of almost no surf from September 7th through to the 21st.
The only faint whisper comes Thursday morning September 10th, with 2ft from the southwest at 5 seconds and combined energy of 22 (still weak), but it’s risky with thunderstorms and cross-off winds. Not worth the drive. The spot’s inconsistent and rarely breaks anyway, so this blank run isn’t a surprise. Honestly, with the combined energy staying below 100 the whole time, there’s no real surf to get excited about. For kite surfing? Even that’s marginal with the wind so light. Keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast – it tends not to stay this poor forever.
Rusty.
