The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, but maybe don’t get your hopes up too high. For the region around Le Ruppione, it’s looking like a rough stretch ahead, with a whole lot of flat and junk conditions. I gotta be straight with you—this is one of those periods where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. We’re staring down a long gap right from the start. With the first sign of anything remotely rideable not showing up until Thursday morning, the 10th of September, you’re looking at about four days of nothing but lake-like flatness.
When we finally do get a pulse, it’s modest. Thursday the 10th, early morning, the swell pushes in at a weak 4ft from the west, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at best (195), and the wind is glassy off the SSE—dead calm. That makes for clean conditions, but don’t expect much power. The water is an unusual 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. This breaks best for advanced crew, though keep in mind Le Ruppione is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting between sets. The swell direction is straight from the west, but the optimum is from the southwest, so it’s not quite hitting the spot perfectly. It’s surfable, but only just.
After that little tease, it goes to crap again. Friday the 11th morning offers a small 3ft west swell, with clean offshore wind from the east at 6 mph, but the energy drops right off (80). Again, not really worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate. Then we hit another wall. From Saturday the 12th all the way through to Wednesday the 17th, it’s mostly flat or tiny, weak dribble with onshore winds ruining any chance of a decent wave. Thursday the 17th sees a spike in wind from the NW at 28 mph, making for a strong cross-onshore mess and only 0.7ft to 1ft of swell. That’s kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing.
We get another clean look on Friday the 18th morning with a small 2ft WNW groundswell and light offshore wind, but the energy is still low (44). It’s just not enough to get excited about. After that, it’s back to flat or junk for the rest of the outlook right through to the 21st.
Honestly, if I had to pick one standout, it’s that Thursday the 10th morning session. The glassy surface and a bit of waist-high swell might give you a couple of fun runners if you’re an advanced surfer willing to work for them. Everything else is a write-off. This area often sees these long flat spells, so it’s not abnormal. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a whole lot of waiting.

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.
