The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our local stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat. There’s a big gap of nothing special from now until around Monday the 18th of August. We’re talking days of tiny, weak waves and mostly onshore or cross-off winds. You’ll see a few mornings with a tiny 0.7ft to 1.0ft and clean conditions, but the energy is basically zero – we’re talking combined swell energy values of just 2 to 24, which is barely a ripple. Thursday the 6th through to Sunday the 17th is a write-off for any proper surfing. If you’re desperate for a splash on a foamie, maybe a dawny on Saturday the 8th or Sunday the 9th might give you a knee-high bump, but honestly, don’t hold your breath.
Now, hold onto your wetties, because things finally get interesting on Tuesday the 18th of August. Viareggio Piazza Mazzini wakes up to a proper pulse. Tuesday morning we’ve got a clean 7ft of swell from the SW, with a 7-second period. The wind is offshore from the E at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy jumps right up to a solid 465 – that’s moderate energy, and it means there’s some real push behind it. This is one for the experienced crew though; at over 8ft, it’s not a beginner wave. This is for the guys who know what they’re doing on a bigger, punchier beach break.
The momentum carries into Wednesday the 19th of August. Another good morning with 7ft from the SW, 7-second period, and cross-off winds from the E at 6 mph. The energy reads 429 again. Both Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are the clear standouts of this whole 16-day window. The afternoon winds will shift onshore and spoil it a bit, so make sure you’re on it early.
By Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st, the swell drops back down to around 3ft to 3ft, with less energy and more ordinary conditions. Not worth getting too excited about after the midweek burst.
So, to sum it up: a long, flat spell right now, then a couple of proper, punchy mornings on the 18th and 19th of August for the experienced surfers. Set your alarms.
Rusty.
