The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. For the next 16 days at San Vincenzo, it's gonna be a tough slog. A real flat spell. We've got a big gap of nothing before we even see a wave worth paddling for.
The first few days are a total loss. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th of July are tiny and choppy. The water is a freakish 84°, which is 8° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual, almost like bathwater. Not gonna help you catch a thing.
We finally get a pulse on Sunday the 26th of July. The morning shows a 5ft swell from the S, with a 6-second period. The combined energy is moderate (232). The wind is cross-offshore from the SE at 12 mph, keeping the surface clean. But the overall quality is still poor. The afternoon turns to junk with a risk of thunderstorms.
Monday the 27th of July is the only real bright spot in the near term. The morning has a 3ft W swell with a 7-second period, and the wind is offshore from the NE at 6 mph. The combined energy is moderate (116), and the conditions are clean. It's surfable but very ordinary. It's the best we've got for a while.
After that, it's back to tiny, weak, and choppy slop for the rest of the week and into the start of August. There are long gaps of several days with absolutely nothing. The morning of Thursday the 6th of August is glassy with a light ENE breeze, but the swell is only 1ft from the W with a 3-second period. The energy is barely a whisper. You'd be lucky to get a knee-high dribble.
Looking further out, the morning of Friday the 7th of August shows a 3ft W swell with an 8-second period and an offshore wind from the ENE. The combined energy is moderate (104). This is promising, but it's a week and a half away, so keep your fingers crossed. Right now, it's the best bet in a very sorry-looking forecast.
Keep the board waxed and the hopes low. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but this is a real flat spell.

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.
