The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on offer at Le Ruppione. This spot is a tricky one—it's an advanced-level beach and reef break that's inconsistent, and to be honest, this forecast window looks pretty grim for most of it.
We're looking at a long stretch of nothing much. For the first few days, there’s hardly a bump. Through Sunday the 13th, Monday the 14th, and Tuesday the 15th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 1ft, and what little there is gets messed up by onshore breezes. You'd be better off checking the wind sock than your board. Wednesday the 16th is a flat day, too. That's a solid five-day gap with no surf worth mentioning.
The first real chance we get is on Thursday morning, the 17th of September. We'll see a small bump of 3ft swell from the west with a period of 8 seconds, so a bit of a short-period windswell. The wind will be offshore from the east at 6 mph, which should keep things clean. The combined wave energy is moderate at 140. Still, the overall conditions are described as just "surfable but very ordinary." It's not a standout by any stretch.
Friday the 18th morning is a similar story: 4ft from the west, 7-second period, and offshore east winds at 6 mph. Energy is still moderate at 127. Again, it's surfable, but nothing to write home about.
After that, the swell fades again quickly. Saturday the 19th drops to 2ft, and then we're back into tiny, weak waves for the rest of the window. The winds through the following week are often offshore or light, but there just isn't any swell to work with. There are no big pulses on the horizon, and the energy readings fall into the weak range, with numbers like 39 and 47. The period also stays short, mostly in the 4-7 second range.
To be honest, this looks like a blank run for Le Ruppione. If you absolutely need a paddle, Thursday the 17th or Friday the 18th early might give you a few clean but weak waves. Otherwise, the setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most of these afternoons when the wind picks up. It's one of those stretches where forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, don't hold your breath.
Stay salty,
Rusty
