The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve taken a good long look at the waves for Viareggio Piazza Mazzini. Let me break it down for you.
Honestly, folks, it’s a tough start. We’re looking at a long dry spell. The first solid recommendation doesn’t roll around until Thursday, August 6th. That’s over a week of small, weak, or just plain messy conditions. From now until then, you’re looking at a lot of flat spells or tiny, short-period slop. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, not doing us any favours. There’s a brief window on Monday morning, July 27th, with some 5ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a meagre 8 seconds and the wind is onshore most of the day, so it’s not going to be pretty. It’s a real test of patience.
But then, things change. The standout, the only real event on the calendar, is Thursday morning, August 6th. We’ve got a solid 8ft of swell from the SW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a strong 672, which is serious power for this spot. The wind is off from the east at 6 mph, which is clean and offshore, making for some proper, lined-up waves. That’s a juicy one. However, be warned: at 8ft, this is expert territory. If you’re a beginner, this is a day to watch from the sand. The swell direction (SW) is a good match for the break’s optimum, so expect it to hold its shape nicely.
The water temperature is a balmy 84°F with an anomaly of 7°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. Don’t expect to need a thick wetsuit.
The rest of the 16-day window after that Thursday drops off quickly. By Friday morning, the 7th, we’re back to tiny, weak waves, and it stays that way through to the end of the forecast. It’s a one-morning wonder, but it’s a good one.
So, if you’re an expert, your calendar is marked for Thursday, August 6th. For everyone else, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
