The Lowdown
Alright, let's keep it real. The surf forecast for the next couple of weeks is about as empty as a beach bar on a Monday morning. We’re looking at a long stretch of flatness, so don’t get your hopes up. The water’s running at 81°F, which is a solid 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s like surfing in a Jacuzzi.
For the next ten days or so, it’s all about the sand between your toes, not the board under your arm. There is just no energy. A few tiny bumps of 0.3ft or so, but they’re not surf, they’re just ripples. Even when the wind is offshore and it looks glassy, there are no waves to ride. It’s a complete and total flat spell.
We see a glimmer of something on the 17th, a weak 2ft pulse from the SW, but the onshore wind is forecast to chop it up and the energy is weak. It’s a no-go. The truth is, you’re better off doing anything else for about two weeks.
The first real sign of life is way off on Monday, the 28th of September. A proper groundswell from the SSW is expected to push through at around 5ft with a 9-second period. This is the standout of the whole period, but it’s a long way off, so keep that in mind. The wind is forecast to be light and offshore in the morning, which is a huge positive. The water will be clean, and it’s got enough size to be fun for the more experienced crew. This one is for the surfers, not the beginners.
Before that? Nada. Zip. Zilch. It’s a dry spell that tests your patience. If you are keen, check out Viareggio - Royal (Viareggio) that Monday morning. The swell direction isn't perfect, but the size and the wind make it your best bet. Just don't hold your breath until then.
Rusty out.
