The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta level with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Le Ruppione. This is a spot that usually gets hit, but we’re in a real dry spell. There’s a good long gap of nothing at the start, so don’t bother paddling out until we get to the second week.
The first recommendation on the cards isn’t until Thursday the 20th of August. That morning, we’re finally looking at a proper swell. The waves will be a solid 7ft from the west, with a decent period of 9 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is chunky at 656 (moderate to strong), so there’s some real grunt behind it. The wind is light and offshore from the east-southeast, which is about as good as it gets for clean, lined-up waves. This is a standout session for the advanced crew – anything over 5ft is getting too big for beginners, and at 7ft, it’s for the experienced. The water temperature is 82°, which is a hefty 6° warmer than usual, so it’s feeling much warmer than normal for this time of year.
That Thursday session is the best of the bunch. The Friday morning on the 21st of August is still a decent option, with 5ft west swell, 8-second period, and light offshore easterly winds. The energy drops to 270 (moderate) but the surf should still be clean and fun. It’s a bit smaller, so it might be more manageable for the keen intermediate.
Beyond that, it trails off quickly. The Saturday and Sunday after that are tiny and messy again. So, for the next 16 days, your one true standout is Thursday the 20th of August. Thursday morning is the call. The rest of the time, you’re better off finding something else to do – the board stays in the car.
Rusty.
