The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down. Viareggio Piazza Mazzini is looking mostly flat for the first part of the forecast, with a few tiny windows of hope later on.
The first few days, from Monday the 24th through Thursday the 27th, are a total bust. Waves are barely ankle-high, under 1 foot, with periods so short they have no power. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. Mornings are clean with light offshore breezes, but there’s no swell to ride. Friday the 28th morning shows a tiny bump – still under 1 foot, but with glassy wind and a bit of south-southeast juice (1 combined energy). You might find a knee-high slosh, but that’s it.
Saturday the 29th sees a big jump in size, but it’s ugly. Swell hits 8 feet with a short 7-second period from the southwest, and the wind is howling onshore at 18 mph. That’s a 684 combined energy reading, but it’s a choppy mess. For a fairly exposed beach-and-reef spot, that’s more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing. Sunday the 30th is similar – 7 feet of swell (856 combined energy), but still onshore and bumpy. Not clean.
From Monday the 31st through to Saturday the 5th of September, it’s back to tiny, weak waves, mostly under 2 feet, with clean mornings but no real swell. That’s about a six-day stretch of poor-to-no surf. Then, on Monday the 7th of September, we get a late pulse. The afternoon is the standout: 4 feet of swell from the west-southwest with an 8-second period and glassy conditions. Combined energy hits 202 – moderate, but with that glass, it’ll be clean and rideable. Tuesday the 8th morning looks clean again, but the swell fades fast.
Best bet: the afternoon of Monday the 7th of September. Waves around 4 feet from the west-southwest, glassy, and clean. It’s the only real window of decent surf in the whole 16 days. The rest is flat or blown out. Keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
