The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about this stretch of coast.
Honestly, mate, we’re looking at a real quiet run. The models are showing barely a ripple for the next 16 days. There’s no proper swell on the cards, so don’t get your hopes up for any kind of standout session. We’ve got a long gap of pretty much nothing, and it’s not until we get into the second week that we see the slightest pulse of life, but even then, it’s weak.
The first hint of anything rideable pops up on Thursday the 17th in the morning. Viareggio Piazza Mazzini might see a tiny 1ft from the WSW with a period of just 4 seconds. The wind is glassy, which is a rare treat, but the wave energy is pitiful at just 9, and it’s a risk of thunderstorms morning. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but even for a learner, that’s barely a bump. The afternoon picks up a little to 3ft, but the period is still short at 6 seconds and the wind goes cross-on, making it messy. The combined energy climbs to 96, which is still weak. Not a day to get excited about.
Friday the 18th morning is probably the best of a bad bunch. Swell hangs around 2ft from the SW with an 8-second period, and the wind is glassy again. The combined energy is 71, still weak. It’s described as surfable but very ordinary. That’s about as good as it gets. After Friday, it drops right back off.
From Saturday the 19th all the way through to the end of the outlook on Monday the 28th, it’s back to tiny slop or flat spells. The odd 0.3ft or 0.7ft shows up here and there with light winds, but it’s not worth paddling out for. Water temp is a very unusual 81° – much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Look, there’s no standout here. The only day that might get you wet is Friday the 18th morning, and that’s a big *might*. If you’re desperate, you could flop around on a foamie, but honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a swim than a surf. It tends not to stay this flat forever, but right now, it’s a blank run.
Rusty.
