The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Le Ruppione over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a pretty quiet stretch. We're looking at a long gap of weak, tiny, or non-existent surf to start, so don't be in a rush to paddle out. The only real window of interest doesn't pop up until the morning of Thursday, the 10th of September, and even then, it's a mixed bag.
The standout period, and the only time worth getting excited about, is the morning of Friday, the 11th of September. It's not huge, but it's the best we've got. The swell is a clean 2ft out of the west, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (200). The real kicker is the wind: a cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 9 mph. That should keep the surface clean and make for some fun, rideable waves at this exposed beach and reef setup. The water temp is about average for the time of year. Don't expect a crowd: Le Ruppione is an inconsistent spot, and it's an advanced wave, so the lineup should be thin.
Before that, Thursday morning on the 10th offers a glimmer, with 3ft of swell and glassy conditions, but the energy is weak (64) and it's not going to set the world on fire. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore wind and building chop.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off. From Sunday the 6th right through to Wednesday the 16th, aside from that Friday morning, it's mostly flat, onshore, or just plain tiny. There are a few glassy moments, but with no swell, they're useless. The period from the 16th through to the 21st is virtually flat, with zero energy. If you're looking for a paddle, you might be out of luck.
So, the call is simple: if you're an advanced surfer and you're keen, make a plan for the morning of Friday, 11th September. That's your only real chance. The rest of the time, the ocean is taking a nap.
Rusty.

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.
