The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Le Ruppione has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a pretty quiet spell for the most part. We're looking at a lot of days with barely a ripple, so patience is the name of the game. The first real sign of life doesn't show up until Monday the 27th of July, so we've got a couple of days of flatness to get through before that.
The standout window is the morning of Monday the 27th. We'll see a pulse of swell from the WNW pushing in at 4ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 208, and the real kicker is the wind – it's forecast to be glassy. That is a major positive, meaning the surface should be clean and smooth. The direction is a touch west of the optimum, but with those conditions, it's your best bet by a long shot. The water temp is a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might be able to lose the steamer.
After that Monday morning session, it drops off again. The following Saturday morning, the 8th of August, we get another chance with a similar size swell from the WNW at 4ft, but this time the period is 7 seconds and the energy is a bit lower at 169. The wind looks offshore from the E, which is a good sign, making for clean conditions. It's worth a look, but it's not as clean as that Monday morning glass-off.
Everything else in between is either tiny, onshore, or flat. There's a lot of cross-onshore and onshore wind in the afternoons, so mornings are definitely the go-to. For the most part, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those windy afternoons.
To be honest, if you want to get wet, your best bet is to lock in the morning of Monday the 27th of July. It's a short window, but it's the best we've got. The weekend of the 8th of August is a promising but less certain prospect further out.
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.
