The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Le Ruppione over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch for surfers. For over a week, from now right through to the 17th of September, it’s pretty much a flat, wind-affected mess. You’re looking at a solid 10-day gap with nothing rideable. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 81° – that’s a full 7° warmer than it should be for this time of year, so it feels more like a bath than the ocean.
The first flicker of hope shows up on the morning of Friday the 18th. We get a tiny pulse of swell – about 3 ft from the WNW, but the period is short, around 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak (96). The real winner here is the wind: glassy, off the east. It’ll be small and ordinary, but clean enough for a longboard if you’re desperate.
Then on the morning of Saturday the 19th, it’s a similar story. A touch more energy (105), but still just 3 ft from the west at 7 seconds. The east offshore wind should keep it clean. It’s inconsistent here, remember, so don’t expect a crowd – the good news is there’s only “sometimes” a crowd anyway, so you might have it to yourself.
Looking way out, around Monday the 21st, the swell starts to push up a little. The afternoon brings 5 ft from the west with a bit more period (8 seconds), and the combined energy jumps to 259 – that’s moderate. But the wind is onshore at 19 mph from the WNW, so it’ll be a messy, blown-out situation. Not worth the paddle.
The 22nd sees some leftover energy, but again, onshore winds and a cross-shore wind make it choppy. Honestly, for the whole outlook, there’s nothing that’s a true standout. The only session worth a look is that glassy Friday morning. It’s a reef and beach setup, so with the strong onshore later in the week, it’ll look more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers.
Just a quiet run for the region. It tends to come good again after a blank spell, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
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.
