The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got to be straight with you—we’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch for the next sixteen days. The water’s sitting at 84° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating on the beach, not from the paddle.
We’re starting with a big ol’ gap. The first surf recommendation doesn't even pop up until Tuesday August 11th. The week before that? Nothing but tiny, weak dribble. The combined energy on the best day before that is barely a whisper. You’d be sitting out there on a log for nothing.
So, on Tuesday August 11th, we finally see a pulse at Viareggio - Royal. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the WSW with a period of 7 seconds. That’s short-period stuff, so the waves will be a bit soft and crumbly, but the combined energy is 99—moderate but just barely. The wind is glassy in the morning, which is a huge plus. The sets will be inconsistent, though, and it’s a spot that rarely breaks, so don’t hold your breath. The crowd factor is “often,” so expect company if it does get going. The optimum direction is SW, and this swell is from the WSW, so it’s a bit off. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary.
That’s really the only nod we get. From August 12th onwards, it’s back to tiny waves with poor surf quality. The combined energy drops back to 19 and below. The second week is pretty much a write-off. Saturday August 15th and Sunday August 16th show no swell at all. There’s a tiny 0.7ft on August 17th, but that’s it.
So, the one true standout—and I say that loosely—is the Tuesday August 11th morning at Royal. Clean, small, and inconsistent. That’s your lot.
Rusty.
