The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Ruppione. We’re in for a long, slow grind of a week, so don’t be in a rush.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a proper flat spell for the first week and a half. There’s a big pulse of energy on Monday the 27th, but it’s a total mess with howling cross-onshore winds, so it’s not for us. The window of opportunity doesn’t really open until Tuesday the 28th, and even then it’s not a classic.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. Le Ruppione (beach and reef) will see a small, clean swell from the west around 5ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The ESE wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it tidy. The combined energy is moderate (221), so there’s a little push, but it’s a mellow offering. This is the best on offer, but it’s barely a standout. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The rest of that week stays tiny. Wednesday the 29th morning has a glassy 2ft, and Thursday the 30th morning is glassy but only 0.7ft. After Friday the 31st, we enter a stretch of multiple days with absolutely no measurable swell at all – from the 31st of July right through to the 4th of August. There’s nothing.
The very tail end of the outlook shows a tiny blip on Wednesday the 5th of August, with a glassy 2ft west swell, but it’s 16 days out, so keep hopes low.
The only real standout for the whole 16 days is the Tuesday morning session on the 28th. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but it’s clean, the wind is kind, and the crowd is only a ‘sometimes’ problem. For this region, that’s as good as it gets in this forecast. Don’t bother with the 27th – that swell is big and strong (12ft and 3194 energy), but you’d be fighting a brutal cross-onshore; it’s more of a kite day than a paddle day.
Rusty, signing off.
