The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this stretch is a real tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The first bit of wave action doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 9th, and even then it’s tiny. From now, you’re staring at at least two days with zero surf. The energy is weak throughout, with the combined swell energy barely creeping into double digits, hovering mostly between 1 and 31 (28° to zero, telling you how quiet it is). Water temps are way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting around 82°, which is a fair bit hotter than normal for the start of autumn.
The only spot we’ve got to talk about is Viareggio - Royal. This break is exposed to the SW, but it’s rated for beginners and is inconsistent at best. The best you can hope for is during the morning sessions when the wind turns offshore from the E or ENE and it goes glassy. On Thursday the 10th morning, we get a tiny 1 ft from the WSW at 5 seconds, with an offshore 6 mph breeze. That’s about as good as it gets. The Saturday the 12th morning also offers 2 ft from the SW, but the period is short at 5 seconds, so it’ll be weak and fat.
This is not a week for a session you’ll remember. If you absolutely have to get wet, the best of a poor lot is probably the morning of Thursday the 10th or Saturday the 12th. Otherwise, I’d save your energy. There’s nothing else on the horizon for the rest of the 16-day window that changes this picture.
Rusty.
