The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s shaping up for Viareggio - Royal. Gotta be straight with you, it’s a tough stretch. The forecast is mostly flat or messy, with a few windows that might get the heart going if you’re patient.
The main issue is that for most of the next two weeks, the surf is either tiny or blown out. There’s a real lack of clean, rideable swell, and the wind is often onshore, chopping things up. We’re looking at a long gap of nothing special from the start until the end of the month, with only a few moments that are worth a mention.
The most promising window looks to be around the 4th and 5th of September. Saturday the 5th morning brings a solid 7ft swell from the southwest, with a period of 7 seconds. That’s a decent amount of water, but at 7ft, it’s getting into the size that’s really only for experienced surfers. The combined energy is strong (727), so there’s some power behind it. The wind is onshore from the southwest, which is a bit of a bummer, but it’s light. The Friday before that, the 4th, shows a 5ft southwest swell in the morning with clean conditions and light offshore wind from the northeast. That’s a much more manageable size and the combined energy is moderate (178). That Friday morning session is your best bet all round – a proper stand-out for the whole period. The water is about average for this time of year.
The other little spike is on the 28th of August, but it’s a messy one. Friday the 28th afternoon has a big 12ft southwest swell, but the wind is a strong onshore 30 km/h, so it’s going to be a washing machine. That’s only for the brave or the foolish. The morning of the 28th is a bit smaller at 7ft, but again, onshore wind. The Saturday the 29th morning has a smaller 5ft swell, but still onshore. Not worth the trip.
Overall, it’s a waiting game. The first recommendation is that Friday the 4th of September morning. If you can wait, that’s the cleanest, most manageable swell we’ll see. Otherwise, the rest of the run is a write-off for a decent paddle. If you’re a kite surfer, some of those windy, choppy days on the 28th might look interesting, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the wind.
Rusty.
