The Lowdown
Alright, let’s put it in feet and miles per hour for you. Rusty here, and I’m telling you straight – this stretch of coast is going to be a snoozer for the next 16 days. The only spot in the game is Viareggio Piazza Mazzini, and the water is a bath-like 83°F, which is about 6°F warmer than normal – very unusual.
The first sniffs of a wave are on Thursday, July 30th. Morning is glassy with a light east wind at 3 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft from the west, with a period of 3 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 2. It’s barely a ripple. The afternoon gets a westerly cross-on breeze at 9 mph, making it choppy, and the swell gets even smaller. Not a day for it.
From Friday the 31st through to Sunday, August 3rd, it’s a long run of poor surf. Morning glass-offs with swells under 2ft and short periods of 4 to 5 seconds. The combined energy never gets above 21. Afternoons are mostly onshore and messy.
There’s a big gap from Tuesday, August 4th, all the way to Monday, August 10th, where the surf is either flat or too small to mention. Clean winds, but no ocean energy.
The one half-decent window is on Monday, August 10th. The morning is glassy with an east wind at 3 mph. The swell is 1ft from the southwest with a 6-second period, giving a combined energy of 11. The afternoon bumps up to 2ft from the west-southwest, same period, energy hitting 20. It’s still tiny, but it’s the best we get. The afternoon wind is onshore, so the morning is the only clean shot.
The last week, from the 11th to the 14th, is a flat-out write-off. Weak, short-period swells that barely register. The 13th of August morning has a clean offshore wind, but the swell is only 0.7ft with an 8-second period – energy at 5. Not worth the paddle.
For this entire 16-day window, the surf is so small and inconsistent that this beach setup looks more interesting for a kite or a foil than a paddle surfboard. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but I’d be finding another hobby for now.
Rusty.
