The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest right off the bat – we’re staring down a very long, flat spell for the Viareggio area. For the next 16 days, there’s simply nothing on offer that gets my heart rate up. The models are showing a whole lot of nothing, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board.
The first day with any measurable energy is Friday the 18th of September at Viareggio Piazza Mazzini. We’ll see a little bump of swell from the WSW pushing about 5ft with a period of 7 seconds. That’s a weak, short-period windswell with a combined energy of just (177). Still, on Friday morning the wind is light and offshore from the ENE, making it clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. That’s the only day in the whole 16-day window that even gets a mention. For beginners, the size is okay, but don’t expect much push.
After that little Friday flirtation, it drops right back to almost nothing. Saturday the 19th has a tiny 2ft leftover, and from Sunday the 20th all the way through to Tuesday the 30th of September, we’re looking at knee-slappers and flat calm. Most mornings have glassy conditions with light offshore breezes, but there’s no wave energy to work with. The combined energy values are mostly 1s and 2s, which is essentially hopeless.
The water temp is running a very unusual 80°F, which is a whopping 8° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s pretty wild, but it doesn’t help when there are no waves.
To be clear, there is no standout session here. Friday the 18th morning is the only window with any surf at all, and even then, it’s marginal. If you’re desperate, you could get wet on a longboard for a few ankle-biters, but honestly, I’d wait for the next forecast run. This blank run is pretty normal for this area when the swell windows don't line up.
Stay patient,
Rusty
