The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat to near-flat conditions, with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The water is a warm 82° right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you just want a float, it’s lovely, but for surfing? We’re in a drought.
The first real chance of anything comes on Wednesday afternoon, 9th September, at Viareggio Piazza Mazzini. It’s tiny, just 2ft from the SW, with a weak period of 4 seconds and combined energy of only 10 – that’s barely a bump. The wind is glassy though, which is a treat, but the swell’s just not there.
Thursday morning, 10th September, shows a slight bump to 3ft from the WSW, period around 6 seconds, and the energy climbs to 56. The wind is offshore from the E, so the surface will be clean, but it’s still a small, weak swell. Not worth rushing out for.
The rest of the first week and into the second is a write-off. We’ve got days of 0.7ft, 0.3ft, and even zeros. You’ll see a lot of “poor surf conditions” in the notes, and that’s the truth. The combined energy drops to single digits for days on end. It’s a proper flat spell.
Then, things get a little interesting way out there. On Monday afternoon, 21st September, we see a bump of 4ft from the S, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 151 – that’s moderate energy, the first real pulse of the whole forecast. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s the biggest swell on offer. Tuesday morning, 22nd September, follows up with 3ft from the S, clean offshore wind, and energy of 52. That morning looks cleaner.
Still, with the swell coming from the south and a short period, it’s not going to be anything special. The standout, if you can call it that, is that Monday afternoon pulse on the 21st, but it’s a long way off and the quality is still only marginal. For a beginner, the 4ft might be a little much, but it’s not huge. For everyone else, it’s just a small window of mediocrity.
Bottom line: This is a very poor stretch for surfing. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the 21st and 22nd of September, but don’t hold your breath. The whole area is sleeping.
Rusty.
