The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's cut to the chase on this one. We're talking about the Viareggio - Royal zone, and the outlook is a bummer. The entire 16-day forecast is a total wipeout for decent waves. There's nothing to recommend in this whole stretch.
What you're looking at is a whole lot of flat water. From right now, all the way through to the 17th of September, it's nothing but tiny, useless bumps. There's a tiny hint of life on the morning of the 18th of September with a little 3ft swell from the southwest, but the report says it's poor surf. The combined energy is weak at just (39), and with a short period of 6 seconds, it won't have any power or shape. The morning wind from the east is offshore and clean, but there's just no swell to push it. After that, it's right back to dead flat for the rest of the period.
The water temp at Royal is a very unusual 82°, way warmer than normal for this time of year, if you're planning a swim. But for surfing, there's nothing going on. This spot faces a SW swell, but the ocean just isn't playing ball. A run of flat days like this is pretty normal for the area when the swell windows are closed, but keep your hopes up – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
