The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. It’s a tough one to write today. Honestly, looking at the next 16 days for Viareggio - Royal, we’ve got a whole lot of nothing on the table for surfers. The pattern is flat, and it stays flat for a very long time.
We kick off on Thursday the 23rd with absolutely zero swell energy (0). The water's a balmy 84°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, but you won’t be needing a wetsuit for any waves because there aren't any. The first actual bump of energy shows up on Friday the 24th, but it’s a tiny 1 ft from the southwest with a period of only 4 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 3. That’s not surf, it’s a ripple. Saturday the 25th is even smaller, and we drift into a dead calm with glassy conditions but no swell to speak of.
From Sunday the 26th through to Tuesday the 28th, we get a bit of a pulse. Swell bumps to 2 ft from the south, and the period stretches to 7 seconds by Monday. The combined energy hits 48 on Monday afternoon, which is the highest we’ll see, but that’s still very weak. With the wind coming onshore from the southwest in the afternoons, it’s going to be choppy and messy. The mornings offer cleaner conditions with light offshores or glass, but there's just not enough push in that small, short-period swell.
Then, from Wednesday the 30th of July right through to Friday the 7th of August, we’re looking at a massive dead zone. There are long gaps—days on end—with zero energy. Mornings are often glassy or clean, but the ocean is basically a lake. A couple of days show tiny 0.3 ft to 0.6 ft pulses, but with 3-second periods, you wouldn't even bother paddling out.
To be straight up with you: there is no standout session here. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the best you’ll get is a small, weak south swell on the morning of Monday the 27th or Tuesday the 28th. The wind will be light offshore or glassy early, so the water will be clean, but you’ll be fighting for scraps on a 2 ft, 7-second wave. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, so these long flat spells are just part of the deal around here. Forecasts can always change, but for now, it’s a solid stretch of no-go.
Stay tuned, maybe the charts will sort themselves out. This is Rusty, signing off.
