Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our patch. Right off the bat, I gotta tell ya, it’s gonna be a quiet stretch for a while. The first week or so is pretty much a write-off for anything worth paddling out for. We’re lookin’ at tiny, weak little slop for the first several days – you’d be better off with a beach towel than a board. The water’s runnin’ a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at about 77°, so that’s a nice consolation if you fancy a swim.
Things really start to flicker to life on Saturday the 18th of July. That morning, we get a pulse of swell from the SW pushing 4ft with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 139 (moderate), so there’s finally some push. The wind is light offshore from the E, which should keep things clean, but the quality is still pretty ordinary. It’s surfable, but it ain’t gonna be memorable. Viareggio – Royal is an exposed beach setup, so that SW swell will bend in, but the short period means the waves are gonna be a little lumpy and disorganised. It’s an inconsistent spot too, so you’ll be workin’ for ‘em. This is honestly the best we’ve got in this whole 16-day window, so if you’re desperate, that Saturday morning is your one shot.
After that brief tease, it drops right back down into the doldrums. Sunday the 19th morning has tiny 3ft waves with glassy conditions, but the energy is already fading to 70 (weak). By Monday the 20th, we’re back to flat or near-flat with barely a ripple. The second week is pretty much a bust – a couple of mornings with 0.3ft to 1ft, nothing worth gettin’ wet for. Wednesday the 22nd morning shows a faint glimmer with 3ft swell and offshore wind, but the energy is still low (85) and it’s from the SW with a short period again.
Overall, this is one of those long, flat spells we get around here. It’s not unusual, just frustrating. Keep an eye on the sky, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
