The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Gonna level with you straight up on this one. For the next week and a half, it is a proper flat spell. We're talking tiny, weak dribble that ain't worth paddling out for. Seriously, the water's warm, about 83°, feeling much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's where the good news ends. The wave energy is just a whisper, with a combined energy reading of only 3 (on the 31st July Friday morning). It's a long, dry stretch.
We've got a gap from now, right through to the 10th of August, with absolutely nothing to recommend. The first real sign of life shows up on Monday morning, 10th August. Viareggio Piazza Mazzini will see a modest 4 ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 6 seconds. The winds will be glassy, making it look clean, but the energy is only moderate (127). It's surfable, but very ordinary. Not a standout, just a sign that the ocean is waking up.
Now, the half-decent window. The best of the whole forecast, and I mean the only real highlight, is the morning of Tuesday, 11th August. Viareggio Piazza Mazzini is the spot. We'll see a solid 7 ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. That's a proper sized swell, maybe one for the more experienced crew as it's over 5 ft, and the combined energy jumps up to a strong 795. The wind is a light easterly, keeping it clean. The morning looks like the only time to get it, as the afternoon turns into an onshore mess. This is your one shot, so if you've got the skills, be on it.
After that, it drops off again. Wednesday morning, 12th August, has a cleaner 3 ft swell, but the energy is modest and the shine is off. The rest of the outlook is a mix of flat days and onshore wind, with no more standouts. The 14th of August Friday is just a write-off with howling 19-22 mph onshore winds. So, keep your eyes on that Tuesday morning the 11th, and don't hold your breath for much else.
Rusty.
