The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Le Ruppione.
Honestly mate, it’s a rough start. The first week and a half is a write-off. From now through to the end of August and right into the first few days of September, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the wind is mostly on it or messy. A few mornings look glassy or clean, but with waves barely cracking 1 feet, you’re better off staying on the beach with a cold one. You’ll see a bit of a bump on the afternoon of the 29th of August, with 3 feet from the west, but that’s coming in with onshore breeze, so it’s going to be sloppy.
Then we hit a proper gap. The 3rd and 4th of September are almost flat – zero energy in the water. Not worth a look. But hold tight, because Saturday the 5th of September is where this whole forecast flips. That morning, we get a proper pulse of 7 feet from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. Combined swell energy jumps to 828 – that’s moderate, building to strong – and the wind is a light offshore from the east. That’s clean, classic conditions. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is a massive 6° warmer than average for this time of year – very unusual, you’ll be surfing in a bath. Saturday morning is the standout. No question. Don’t sleep on it.
After that, it goes downhill again quickly. Sunday the 6th has onshore junk, and by Monday the 8th we get another pulse, 7 feet from the west with 607 energy, but the wind is cross-on from the northwest at 9 mph, making it lumpy and ugly. Probably one for the kites, not the paddle. The rest of the outlook trails off into small, weak, or windy conditions.
So bottom line: the entire 16-day window is a dud, except for one shining moment. Saturday the 5th of September morning at Le Ruppione is your only real shot – clean offshore wind, chest to head-high swell from the west, and warm water. Take it, because the rest is a long, flat wait.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Le Ruppione may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
