The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through it. Le Ruppione is looking flat as a pancake for a long stretch. From Wednesday the 15th all the way through Friday the 24th, you’re looking at basically nothing. The combined energy numbers are tiny, like 0 to 4, which is just flat water. Don’t bother.
Then, on Saturday the 25th of July, the morning shows a little pulse of 4ft swell from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds and a combined energy of 171 (moderate). The wind is light and offshore from the SE, so the morning will be clean. But the waves are just ordinary, and the afternoon gets chopped up.
The one real window, the thing that might get you out of bed, is Sunday the 26th of July. Early morning delivers a clean 5ft swell from the WNW, period of 7 seconds, and a combined energy of 355 (moderate). The wind is glassy from the ESE. That’s smooth, clean surf. The water temp is about average for the season. This is a good session for advanced surfers, as the swell is getting a bit sizeable for beginners. The crowds can be a problem here sometimes, so don’t expect solitude. The ideal swell direction is SW, and this is coming in from the WNW, so it’s not a perfect match, but the glassy conditions make it the best of the whole run.
After that, Monday the 27th drops back into flatness, and the rest of the forecast is a dud. So, if you’re going, make it the early glassy session on Sunday the 26th.
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.
