The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring for the Viareggio area. The only break on the radar is Viareggio Piazza Mazzini, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch.
We’ve got a long, quiet gap ahead. The first bit of rideable surf doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, 18th August. That’s a few days of nothing to start. Then there’s another big gap with no real surf from the afternoon of the 19th all the way through to the 25th. The 16-day window is mostly a bust.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is Tuesday morning, 18th August. Viareggio Piazza Mazzini will see a tiny 3 ft swell from the WSW, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at 87. The water is a very warm 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind will be light from the east at 6 mph, giving us a clean cross-offshore breeze. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The break is rated as consistent and beginner-friendly, though it’s only fairly exposed, so it needs a good push to get going. The guidance says the optimum swell direction is from the SW, so this WSW swell is close enough. Crowds are possible here sometimes.
After that, things go downhill fast. The rest of the period is plagued by onshore winds, tiny swell, and poor conditions. The 22nd of August sees a bump in size to 4 ft with moderate energy at 159, but the wind is onshore and the quality is poor. The 25th of August morning has a 5 ft swell and stronger energy at 254, but again, it’s a messy cross-onshore, not worth paddling out for. With the short period and weak direction, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Honestly, leave the board in the car for the next two weeks. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.
Rusty.
