The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight up about this one – it's a lean stretch for the San Remo area, specifically Tri Ponti or La Scaletta (San Remo).
First things first, if you're looking to get wet in the next couple of weeks, you're going to be doing a lot of waiting. We are looking at a long, dry gap. From now all the way through to the 19th of September, it's flat or close to it. We're talking no swell to speak of – really small dribbles, nothing that would get you out of bed.
The water temp is sitting at a very warm 82°F, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the wait will be comfortable.
For the first two weeks, there's nothing to report. The wind is often clean or offshore (NNE), but there's no wave energy behind it. The combined energy barely cracks a whisper, sitting at a 1 or 2 in the brackets most days. Don't even bother checking the buoys, the forecast just doesn't have the pulse.
So, where's the hope? It's all looking towards a very distant bright spot. Keep your eye on the 20th of September.
The 20th of September – Our Only Looker
Finally, the charts start showing a pulse. On Saturday morning the 20th, we see a modest 0.6ft swell rolling in from the S with a 6-second period. The combined energy ticks up to 28, which is still pretty weak but a massive improvement over the rest of the window. The wind is cross-off from the NE at 20 km/h, which should keep the surface clean.
Sunday the 20th afternoon holds similar with the same 0.6ft S swell and cross-off wind from the E. It’s not going to be pumping, but after a two-week flat spell, it’s the only game in town. This is a beginner-friendly wave anyway, and given the size (0.6ft), it’s perfectly manageable for learning. Just be aware that the crowds can be *sometimes* present here, and on the first decent day in a fortnight, you can bet a few locals will be out.
This is a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed and check back closer to the date. The forecast is promising but far from locked in. For now, wax those boards and be patient.
Rusty.
