The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown in feet and inches. Let's cut to the chase – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ugly for the Altopascio area. We're in for a long, quiet stretch with barely a wave worth paddling for.
We start with a blank. From Sunday the 23rd of August through the end of the month, the swell is tiny and the wind is mostly junk. Around the 28th and 29th, the swell gets a little bump, but the wind is howling onshore, so it's a total mess. If you're into kiting, that Saturday the 29th with a 6ft SW swell and 15 mph onshore wind might be your thing, but for us surfers, it's a hard pass. That run of bad conditions lasts for over a week.
The only real window of opportunity shows up right at the start of September. On Monday morning the 31st of August, Viareggio Piazza Mazzini (Altopascio) might finally show some life. We're looking at a 7ft swell from the WSW with a 8-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 557 (moderate). The good news is the wind is light from the ESE, which is offshore, so it should be clean. This is the one standout in the whole forecast. Just keep in mind that it can get crowded here, so you'll want to be early.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning also looks clean, with a 5ft SW swell and light offshore wind, but it's a smaller, weaker swell (278). After that, it's back to tiny, weak dribble for the rest of the week. The water temperature is about normal for this time of year.
If you're holding out for a wave, mark that Monday the 31st on your calendar. Everything else in this 16-day window is a bust. It's a quiet spell, but it happens.
Rusty.
