The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the Viareggio Piazza Mazzini stretch. To be straight with you, this is a bleak run. For the next week and a half, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for, and the wind just keeps messing things up. The swell is small and weak, and the onshore wind is a constant pain. The only real glimmer of hope comes right at the end of the window.
Right now, Friday the 21st is a write-off, with a messy 3 ft to 5 ft SW swell and a 6-second period, but the wind is cross-on or onshore, making it poor. The energy is a weak 135 to 142 (combined energy). Same story for Saturday the 22nd – a bigger 7 ft SW swell hits the morning, but it’s blown out by a 12 mph onshore wind, giving it a moderate energy of 424. Not a surfable wave.
Sunday the 23rd sees the swell drop to 2 ft and then 1 ft, and while the wind goes offshore early, the swell is too weak to do anything. The energy is down to 46 then 17. From Monday the 24th right through to Thursday the 28th, the swell is either flat or tiny, with periods of 4 to 5 seconds and energy below 20. It’s a total gap of surfable waves.
Friday the 29th brings a pulse of 6 ft SW swell with a 7-second period, but the wind is a strong 16 mph onshore again, making it a messy, blown-out 332 energy. Another no-go.
Then, finally, on Sunday the 30th, we get a standout. The morning sees a 8 ft WSW swell with a 7-second period and a strong energy of 964. The wind swings offshore from the ENE at 9 mph, giving us clean, groomed faces. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. This is a serious option for experienced surfers only – that 8 ft is too big for beginners. The break is fairly exposed, so it’ll pick up the energy, but it’s a beach break, so be ready for it to close out a bit. Crowds are a possibility here. The afternoon gets wrecked by onshore wind again, so the morning session is the only window.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak swell and poor conditions through to the 5th of September. That Sunday the 30th is your one shot. Set the alarm.
Rusty.
