Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Ruppione over the next 16 days.
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: the 16-day window over at Le Ruppione is a tough one. The first week-plus is a real struggle, with barely a ripple worth paddling for. We’re talking days of flatness or tiny, weak slop. The water temp is sitting at 77.7°F, which is a couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath, but with no waves to enjoy it.
The first real flicker of anything happens on the morning of Thursday the 17th of July. The swell is only 3 ft from the WNW, with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (88). It’s glassy though, with a light cross-off wind from the SSE, so it’ll be clean. But the waves are tiny and weak, and the break is inconsistent. It’s not a day to get excited about.
The afternoon of the 17th sees a bump in size to 5.2 ft from the WNW, but the period is still short at 7 seconds. The energy ramps up into the moderate range (445), but it’s blown out by a 6.2 mph onshore wind from the W, making for messy, marginal conditions. The break is a beach and reef setup, and with that onshore wind, this looks more interesting for the kite crew than for paddle surfing.
The morning of Saturday the 18th of July is a tiny glimmer. The swell drops to 3.6 ft from the WNW, still short at 7 seconds, but with a glassy wind from the SSE. The energy is moderate (121). The comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and I’d have to agree. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s not a standout. The break is inconsistent, so you’ll be sitting and waiting.
After that, it fades back into tiny, poor surf for the rest of the window. No real standouts at all this time around, folks. The whole stretch is a blank run for this area, which isn’t unusual given the break’s inconsistency. The forecasts can change, but for now, keep the boards in the bag.

Information about the Le Ruppione Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Le Ruppione provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Le Ruppione can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Le Ruppione surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Le Ruppione) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
