The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. This is Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for Ruppione. Honestly, it's a rough patch ahead. There are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window, not a single one. The first week is a total write-off, and the second week only offers a couple of weak pulses that are barely worth mentioning.
For the first stretch, from Friday the 11th right through to Wednesday the 24th, there's nothing doing. We're looking at a lot of flat days and tiny, gutless swells. Only a few times does the swell even register, and when it does, it's so small and weak it’s just not surfable. We get a pulse on Thursday the 17th, but it's a junky one. The swell bumps to 4ft in the morning from the WNW with an 8-second period, and energy is moderate at 196, but the wind is all wrong. It's blowing cross-on, making things messy. By the afternoon, the wind howls to 19 mph from the WNW, the swell jumps to 6ft, and the energy jumps to 383, but it's onshore junk. That’s not clean waves; that’s a washing machine. That looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s just a blown-out mess.
After that, it's back to the flat spell. There are a few mornings with clean, offshore winds from the E, but there's simply no swell to ride. It's the kind of spell that can drive a person crazy.
Then, around Saturday the 26th, there's a tiny glimmer. The morning shows a small lift in swell to 4ft from the W with a 7-second period and moderate energy at 134. The wind is light and offshore from the E, which will clean it up. But the score is still a 1 out of 10, and I’m telling you, that’s a generous score. The swell is short-period and weak, the break itself is inconsistent, and this won’t be anything to get excited about. It’s just a sign that the ocean is still breathing, and maybe, just maybe, the pattern will shift. It tends not to stay poor for long, but a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area this time of year.
Keep the faith. The weekend after might see a turn. Nothing is guaranteed, but the forecasts can always change.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Le Ruppione can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
