The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening around Viareggio Piazza Mazzini.
Honestly, it’s a tough run. We’re looking at a long wait ahead and there’s really only one morning that looks worth paddling out for, and it’s way down the line. For the first week and a half, you’re staring at flat spells or blown-out junk. Clean waves and a decent swell just don’t line up until we get deep into the forecast.
We start Friday the 21st with a bit of size – about 7.5ft of messy, short-period swell from the WSW – but it’s crossed up by a solid 15 mph SW wind. It’s a write-off. Saturday the 22nd isn’t much better; the swell drops off but the wind stays on it. Sunday the 23rd morning sees a tiny 2.3ft lump with clean offshore from the east, but there’s just no energy in it. That pattern of small, clean but weak surf continues right through the end of August.
Then there’s a real spike on Friday the 28th of August. Swell jumps to about 10ft Friday morning and blows up to around 11.5ft by the afternoon, with serious juice behind it. But the wind is howling onshore from the WSW at 22 mph. That kind of size and wind at a beach setup like this is more a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one. Saturday the 29th still has some leftover swell, but the onshore wind ruins it. Through the end of August and into early September, it's back to tiny or flat conditions.
The one standout is Friday morning, September the 4th. We’ve got a clean, smooth 6.6ft swell from the southwest with a light offshore breeze from the NE. It’s got enough push, the wind is clean, and for a moment, it could actually be fun. The catch is the crowd factor here: it’s listed as ‘sometimes’, so you might have some company.
The water temperature is sitting at 82.6° right now – that’s much warmer than normal for the time of year. So at least the first few days will be a warm, if frustrating, wait.
So, bottom line: this stretch is mostly a no-go. The only real flicker of hope is that Friday morning on the 4th of September. Until then, keep the board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up too high.
