The Lowdown
Well, folks, it's a tough one to call for the next couple of weeks. We're looking at a real flat spell for Viareggio Piazza Mazzini (Italy). The water is sitting at a balmy 84°, which is a solid 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a very unusual anomaly, so you'll be sweating in your wetsuit, if you even bother wearing one.
The whole forecast is a long stretch of nothing happening. From Wednesday, August 5th, right through until Sunday, August 16th, we've got a whole lot of noise with barely any wave energy. The swell is tiny, mostly under 1ft, with periods as short as 3 to 7 seconds, meaning it's just wind chop or nothing at all. The combined energy is in the single digits or low teens (1 to 41), which is just weak. The only highlight is a bit of glassy or offshore wind in the mornings, but with no swell to work with, it’s a total tease.
We finally get a pulse of energy on the morning of Sunday, August 16th. Swell ticks up to 2ft from the SW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 32. The morning wind is a clean cross-offshore from the east, making those tiny waves look more appealing. That afternoon, it bumps up to 3ft from the WSW, but the wind swings onshore, so it'll be a bit choppy. This is the best we've got, but it's really just a small wave day for longboards or foils.
The next morning, Monday, August 17th, is similar with 2ft from the WSW and a risk of thunderstorms, but light cross-on winds.
Then, the most interesting swell hits on Tuesday, August 18th. The morning sees 4ft from the SW at 7 seconds, with combined energy hitting 111 (moderate wave energy). But the wind is a strong, onshore 16 mph, making it choppy and messy. The afternoon drops to 3ft with onshore wind. This is the only period with a bit of size, but the conditions will be sloppy. The set-up is a beach break, so with onshore wind and a short period, it's going to be a messy, bumpy ride. Honestly, this looks more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. After that, it fades back to nothing.
So, to put it bluntly, there are no true standouts here. The best option is the morning of Sunday, August 16th, for a tiny, clean wave on a longboard, or the morning of Tuesday, August 18th if you don't mind wrestling with onshore wind. Don't hold your breath for anything else.
