The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Viareggio area.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it’s looking pretty grim for us paddle surfers. The forecast is basically a long, flat spell with a few tiny, weak pulses that just aren’t worth the effort. We’ve got a stretch of days with no real surf to speak of.
Royal (Viareggio - Royal) is the only spot in the mix, and it’s an inconsistent break that rarely gets good. The water is a very unusual 84°—that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year.
For the first week and a half, from now through to the 9th of August, it’s all tiny, pathetic little waves. We’re talking knee-high dribble at best, with combined swell energy barely cracking 20 (5-8). The wind is often onshore or glassy, but there’s just no swell to work with. It’s a write-off.
The only flicker of life shows up on Monday the 10th of August. The morning brings a little 4ft groundswell from the WSW with a period of 8 seconds and light offshore winds from the east. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 150, so there’s a bit more push. The waves will be surfable, but the conditions are described as “very ordinary,” so don’t expect perfection. The swell is small enough for beginners. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore, killing the quality.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums for the rest of the second week. We get a few tiny bumps on the 15th and 16th of August, with a 3ft swell on the 15th morning and some clean conditions, but the energy is weak (71) and the whole setup is just too marginal to get excited about.
Honestly, the standout, if you can call it that, is Monday the 10th of August. It’s the only day with any real size and period. It’s not going to be amazing, but it’s the best of a very poor bunch. The rest of the 16 days is a total flat spell for this area.
Rusty.
