The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk in feet and miles per hour for the crew that thinks that way.
The first two weeks are a total bust. From August 3rd right through the 16th, it’s a desert out there. Tiny, weak swell, and the wind is almost always wrong. The water is sitting at a warm 84°, which is way hotter than normal for this time of year, but you can’t surf on temperature alone.
There’s a tiny moment on the morning of Saturday the 8th with a glassy 4ft swell from the WSW, but the period is short and it dies out fast. Not worth the drive.
The real story is Monday the 17th of August. Viareggio Piazza Mazzini is the only spot that’s gonna fire. We’ve got a solid 7ft groundswell from the WSW, with a long period pushing some serious energy. The wind is offshore out of the East, so it’s gonna be clean as a whistle. That’s the one. It’s a consistent spot, so it’ll be breaking, but at that size it’s a bit much for beginners. The afternoon gets choppy, but that morning window is the standout.
The morning of the 18th still has some leftover 4ft swell with clean cross-off winds, but it’s not as powerful. Still a good backup.
So, bottom line: suffer through the flat spell until the 17th, then get ready for a proper morning session at Viareggio Piazza Mazzini.
