The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Viareggio.
Honestly, it’s gonna be a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell for the most part, with only a few tiny windows of hope. The water is sitting at a balmy 84°F – that’s about 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is really unusual. It feels like bathwater, but there’s hardly any push to go with it.
The first real chance to even get wet comes on Sunday morning, July 26th. The swell is small, about 2ft from the South, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (51). It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. The risk of thunderstorms is a buzzkill, but the wind is light from the ESE, keeping it clean. You’ll be scratching for waves, but it’s something.
The only real standout in this whole run is Monday morning, July 27th. We get a pulse of 4ft swell from the Southwest, with a 7-second period. The combined energy jumps to moderate (124). More importantly, the wind is light offshore from the NE. That’s clean surf at Viareggio - Royal. It’s inconsistent here, so don’t expect a conveyor belt, but the conditions will be the best of the whole forecast. The swell is small enough for beginners, and the offshore wind will make it feel like a different spot.
After that, it’s a long, dry desert. From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to Sunday the 9th of August, the waves are tiny or non-existent. There are a few glassy mornings with waves under 2ft, but you’d be better off with a paddleboard. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore in the afternoons, so it’s not even worth looking.
Forget the second week. It’s flat. The best you’re going to get is a glassy 1ft bump on Thursday the 6th of August, but with zero energy (5) and a 4-second period, it’s a lake. Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, the only day to mark on your calendar is Monday morning, July 27th.
Rusty.
