The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for Le Ruppione. This spot is an advanced, exposed beach and reef break that's already inconsistent, and we're in for a long stretch of nothing much at all.
We've got a big gap of flat, small, or just plain messy conditions from now until late July. The waves are barely a whisper, with swell heights sitting at 0.7ft to 1ft from the west-northwest, and the energy is just pathetic (combined energy of all swells directed here is between 1 and 12). The winds are a mixed bag of glassy mornings and onshore afternoons, but there's simply no power to work with. It's a write-off.
Then, on Sunday the 26th of July, things finally get interesting. The morning session is the standout of the whole outlook. We're looking at a clean 6ft swell from the west, with a period of 8 seconds and a solid energy reading (320). The wind is a light offshore from the east-southeast, giving us clean, glassy conditions. This is the one to circle on the calendar. At 6ft, it's getting a bit solid for beginners, but it's prime for advanced surfers. That consistent west swell hitting this exposed reef should be good.
The following Monday morning, the 27th, is surfable but very ordinary, with a 3ft west-northwest swell and clean cross-off winds. Nothing to get too excited about.
Looking further out, the 31st of July brings a bigger 8ft west-northwest swell, but it's messy with a cross-onshore wind and a questionable call. That's a big one for experts only, if you're keen.
So, the only true standout is the morning of Sunday the 26th of July. The rest of the time, you're best off checking the forecasts again because this looks like a long, quiet period for Le Ruppione.
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.
