The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Well, grab a coffee, because this is a flat spell for the foreseeable future. We’re looking at Viareggio Piazza Mazzini, and it’s a tough one. The water is sitting at 83° – that’s a full 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is seriously unusual.
The issue is that for the first week and a half, there’s barely a ripple. From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August, we’ve got nothing but tiny, messy waves. The swell energy is pathetic, barely registering a whisper. Most mornings are glassy or clean, but with swell heights at 0.3ft to 2ft, it’s not even worth paddling out for a beginner. The wind is often light and offshore in the mornings, but it swings onshore in the afternoons, ruining the little texture that’s there.
The only glimmer – and I mean the *only* one – shows up on the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. We finally see a bit of life. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the WSW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 86. It’s still weak, but it’s something. The morning glass is gone, but we have a light offshore wind from the E, which is a major positive. It’ll be clean, but the wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." This is a beginner-friendly break, so 3ft is fine for learning, but the short period (7 seconds) means it won’t have much push.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The morning of Friday the 7th of August has a glassy 2ft, but again, it’s weak. Then from Saturday the 8th of August onward, the swell completely dies, with zero energy showing for the rest of the 16-day run. The wind picks up, too, becoming a strong onshore breeze, which is just a waste.
So, what’s the call? The best option, and the only one worth your time, is the morning of Thursday the 6th of August at Viareggio Piazza Mazzini. It’s not epic, but it’s the only time the swell is big enough to get wet. The offshore wind will keep it clean. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. Otherwise, find a lake or a skatepark. The crowds are "sometimes" a problem here, but on this size, it’ll be empty. A long, blank stretch like this is pretty normal for the area when the summer lull sets in.
Rusty.
