The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Viareggio.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat. There’s a long stretch of nothing, with the first real chance of a wave not showing up until Monday the 27th of July. Before that, we’ve got tiny dribbles and poor conditions, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
The standout window, and really the only time this forecast gets interesting, is Monday the 27th of July through Tuesday the 28th of July at Viareggio - Royal. Monday morning sees a pulse of swell from the WSW at 3ft with a period of 9 seconds, pushing through with moderate energy (164). The wind is light and offshore from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. It’s not a big wave, but it’s the best we’ve got. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
Tuesday morning the 28th of July still has some waist-high leftovers from the SW at 2ft, period dropping to 8 seconds, and the wind is off again from the ENE, keeping it clean. The energy is weaker though (73). This spot is exposed to the SW, so that’s where the swell is coming from, which is a good match.
Just keep in mind, Viareggio - Royal is an inconsistent beginner break, and it’s often crowded, so expect company if you’re out there. The best bet is definitely Monday morning the 27th of July, but it’s not going to be anything epic. After that, we’re looking at another long dry spell of flat, glassy mornings with no surf through the end of the forecast.
Rusty.
