The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew through this forecast. I’m not going to sugarcoat it – it’s a lean run. There’s a big stretch of nothing before we see anything worth paddling for.
It all starts on Wednesday the 29th of July, and it’s pretty much flat. Tiny, almost non-existent surf. That carries on for days and days, right into the first week of August. The swell is below 1 foot, the energy is next to nothing. From the 29th all the way to the morning of the 8th of August, you’re looking at a dry spell with no real swell.
Finally, on the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, we get a pulse at Viareggio - Royal. A southwest swell hits about 4 feet, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 162 – moderate, meaning there’s finally some oomph behind it. It’s not perfect, but the wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The direction is from the SW, which is exactly what this spot needs. This break can be inconsistent, but a clean 4-foot wave is the best we’ve seen in over a week.
That same afternoon, the swell pushes up to about 6 feet from the WSW, with energy at 395 – that’s solid. But the wind swings onshore from the southwest at just 6 mph, which will mess with the surface. The morning session is the one to aim for: glassy conditions and that solid push of swell. That’s your standout moment.
The water temp is about average for this time of year.
After that spike, it fades fast. Sunday the 9th of August morning has a smaller 3-foot swell with 88 energy and glassy conditions, but it’s nothing special. Then it drops back to nearly nothing for the rest of the forecast period. You do see some offshore wind on the 10th and 11th, but with swell under a foot, it’s just a flat, clean ocean.
So, the one and only window is the morning of Saturday the 8th of August at Viareggio - Royal. Clean, decent size, and your best bet by a long shot. Crowds are often around, so expect company.
Other than that, it’s a quiet run. The area goes through these flat spells, but forecasts can always change.
Rusty.
