The Lowdown
Alright, grab your coffee, let's talk about what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it's looking bleak for a proper paddle. We've got a 16-day window here and barely a ripple to show for it. The water's sitting at a very unusual 81°F (that's 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a bit wild), but that's about the only thing breaking the norm. There are long stretches of flat to tiny conditions, so if you're aching for a surf, you might want to check back with me in a few days because things can always change.
San Vincenzo is the only break on the cards, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, but the numbers don't lie. The best of a bad bunch is going to be Thursday, September 17th. We've got a slight bump from a westerly swell coming in at 3ft with an 8-second period. The combined energy is weak at 90, and with a cross-shore wind and risk of thunderstorms, it’s going to be pretty messy. It's small and choppy, but it's the most size we'll see. Later on Friday, September 18th, we get a clean morning with light offshore winds from the east, but the swell drops right back to 1.0ft. That's a glassy, tiny wave for a longboard or a SUP.
After that, the trough dries up completely. We'll see a few mornings with clean, glassy conditions and a whisper of swell, like on Tuesday, September 22nd when a little 1.0ft south swell shows up with clean offshore winds. But honestly, with energy readings barely reaching double digits, you’ll be waiting for a set that never comes.
There’s a stretch from mid-September through to the 26th where it’s practically flat, with only the odd 0.7ft reading. It’s not looking good for the foreseeable future.
Forget the wetsuit, just bring a towel for the beach. This one’s a write-off for now.

Information about the San Vincenzo Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for San Vincenzo provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at San Vincenzo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our San Vincenzo surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (San Vincenzo) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for San Vincenzo may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
