The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window for Viareggio is a tough one to call surf. Let’s break it down.
Right now, the whole stretch is looking very quiet. We’re talking about a long, dry spell with barely a ripple. There’s a gap of several days right at the start where you’d be wasting your time even looking at the water. The first real chance of anything surfable pops up on Sunday, July 19th, but even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
The only spot we’ve got to work with is Royal (Viareggio - Royal). It’s a beginner-friendly break, but it’s inconsistent and rarely offers much. For the first recommendation, we’re looking at Sunday morning, July 19th. You’ll find a tiny 3 ft swell coming from the SW, with a 6-second period. The energy is weak (58), and the conditions are just “ordinary.” The wind is offshore from the E at 6 mph, which is a decent thing, so the surface will be clean. But honestly, the waves are going to be small and weak. It’s more of a paddle and a float than a proper surf. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The rest of the period is a total bust. You’ll see a few tiny pulses of energy, like a 1 ft SW swell on Saturday morning, July 18th, with glassy conditions, but the energy is so low (10) it’s barely moving. After that, there are several days in a row—from around July 22nd through the 25th—with zero swell and clean, flat conditions. The wind is often light or offshore, but without any swell, it’s a lake.
Later in the second week, we get a little bump. On Tuesday, July 28th, there’s a 1 ft S swell in the morning, glassy as can be, but the energy is still only 9. By Tuesday afternoon, the swell picks up to 3 ft from the S, with a 5-second period and energy of 49, but the wind turns onshore from the SW, ruining any chance of a clean wave. The same story repeats on Wednesday, July 29th, with a 2 ft SSW swell and a cross-offshore wind in the morning, but the energy is still low (34), and by afternoon the wind shifts cross-on.
Bottom line: If you’re desperate for a surf, the best window is Sunday morning, July 19th, for some clean but tiny waves. Don’t expect much. The rest of the time, you’re better off with a beach towel and a good book. The setup is so weak and small that it’s not even worth thinking about for kite surfing.
Rusty.
