The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest about the next couple of weeks. It's not looking like a classic stretch for surf, and you're gonna have to pick your moments if you want a wet one.
The long and short of it is, we’ve got a whole lotta nothing on the horizon for the most part, with a bit of a pulse around the 24th and 25th of August. Before that, we are looking at a serious drought. From now until the 24th, it’s basically flat and messy. There’s a couple of tiny bumps, but nothing with any push or shape to get you excited. It’s going to be a long, quiet stretch.
Now, let’s talk about that one moment that looks like it might fire. On Monday the 24th, there’s a noticeable change. The swell jumps up to around 5ft from the SW, and it’s glassy. That’s the standout of the whole period. The energy is still moderate, reading about 170, but it’s a real swell. This is at Viareggio - Royal (Tuscany). It’s an exposed spot, and it's picking up that SW swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
Then the next morning, Tuesday the 25th, there’s still some life in the water. The swell is a touch smaller at 4ft, but still from the SW with a slightly longer period of 8 seconds, and the wind is offshore. It’ll be a bit more consistent, but still ordinary. That’ll be your second chance, but the Monday afternoon glass is the one. This break can be inconsistent, so when it does show, you gotta go.
Before that, the only thing worth a mention is Tuesday the 18th in the morning, with a tiny, clean 3ft SW swell, but it’s weak and barely a blip. It’s just something to get your board wet on, not a real session. Same with the 23rd, but even smaller.
There is one thing you should know about Viareggio - Royal, the crowd factor. It’s a place where you’ll likely have company, especially if the waves show up. Get there early.
So, mark your calendar for the 24th and 25th. Everything else is a skunk. The energy levels are weak, and the combined swell energy is mostly in the low double or single digits. There’s not a whole lot to work with. The period is short, which also isn't doing us any favors for shape.
Hang loose, and keep an eye on the forecast. It’s got to get better than this.
Rusty, out.
