The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
Honestly, mate, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and grim for Viareggio Piazza Mazzini. I’ve got to be straight with you: there’s no real surf on the cards for a long while. The first week is basically a write-off. We’re looking at a big gap with nothing rideable from now until around the 20th of September. That’s a solid stretch of tiny, weak slop at best, and most days there’s just nothing at all.
The little bumps we do see early on are tiny and weak, with the energy in the water pretty much non-existent. The combined swell energy stays in the low double digits or even single digits, like 4 or 12, which tells you just how gutless it is. Even the slightly bigger pulses on the morning of the 12th only push 2ft with a weak 5-second period, and that’s not doing anyone any favours. The swell direction is from the SW, which is what this spot wants to see, but with that period and size, it’s just not going to break with any sort of power. The wind is often light and variable, so it’s not messy, just flat. A couple of afternoons do go glassy, like on the 14th, but there’s literally nothing to ride.
Now, as for the water, when we do finally see a wave, the water temp is sitting at a balmy 82°, which is a solid 9° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s not just a bit odd, it’s really unusual, so if you do get in, you won’t need a wetsuit, just a board.
Looking ahead, the first sign of anything resembling a wave shows up on Sunday the 20th. The morning has a slight increase to 2ft, but it’s still short-period mush. The afternoon is a touch better, with 2ft and the energy jumping to 28, but it’s still poor quality and the period is only 5 seconds. It’s not worth getting too excited about, but it’s the best the forecast has to offer over this whole stretch. After that, it just fades back down to nothing again.
So, the bottom line is: there are no standout days here. This is a blank run. For this area, that can happen, but it usually doesn’t stay this poor for long. I’d keep the board in the car but be prepared for a lot of sitting on the beach.
Signing off, Rusty.
