The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get real about the surf situation ahead. I'm looking at Viareggio Piazza Mazzini, and honestly, the next couple of weeks are a tough watch for anyone wanting to get wet.
Right off the bat, the water is a whopping 9° warmer than normal for this time of year at 82°, which is just bizarre. The waves themselves? They're pretty much non-existent for the foreseeable future. We're looking at a brutal stretch of tiny, weak swells.
The first proper suggestion doesn't come until Sunday the 6th of September, but even then it's a sad affair. You've got a tiny 1ft swell from the SW with a short period of 5 seconds and weak energy (8). The morning wind is offshore from the ENE at 3 mph, so the surface will look clean, but there's just no power. This is strictly a beginner session on a foamie. The afternoon goes onshore and gets even smaller.
Monday the 7th is flat, and Tuesday the 8th is completely flat with glassy conditions. For the rest of that first week and well into the second, we are looking at an almost total drought of swell. The combined energy values are mostly 1, 2, or 0—that's as weak as it gets. There are some clean mornings with offshore or glassy winds on the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th, but the swell heights are stuck at 0.3ft to 1ft with periods around 5 to 8 seconds. It's basically a lake.
We roll into the third week, and still nothing. The 18th of September has a moderate offshore breeze from the East at 12 mph, but there is literally zero swell on the charts. The morning of the 21st finally shows a slight uptick, with a clean 0.7ft swell from the South and offshore wind. But it's just not enough to generate a wave you can ride.
The outlook is grim. There are no standouts, no hidden gems, nothing worth chasing. This is a 16-day period of flatness, with a few tiny, unrideable bumps. The consistency is high, but only because it's consistently small. When there's this much wind and no swell, a beach setup like this is more interesting for kite surfing. Don't hold your breath; the forecasts could change, but right now it's a hard pass.
Rusty.
