The Lowdown
Right then, let’s get a look at the options. The only spot on the radar for the whole 16-day window is Le Ruppione, a beach-and-reef setup that’s exposed to the swell. It’s an inconsistent break, so don’t expect a constant wave train. The water here is a scorching 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real standout.
The first real chance of a wave worth paddling out for comes on Friday, 24 July, in the morning. You’ve got a 3-foot swell out of the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. The combined energy is moderate (62). It’s surfable, but the conditions are ordinary. The best looking session of the whole forecast is Monday, 27 July, early. The wind is glassy, and while the swell is only 3 feet from the west with a short 7-second period, the combined energy jumps to a moderate 123. That’s a bit more push, and the clean conditions make it the pick of the bunch. For a more advanced surfer, that afternoon sees the swell jump to 6 feet from the west with an 8-second period and strong energy (405), but the wind is onshore, so it’ll be a messy, lumpy affair. The following Tuesday morning, 28 July, is glassy again with a 3-foot west swell, giving another clean but small window.
After that, the surf really drops off. There’s a long stretch of tiny, weak surf and flat spells from the 30th of July right through to the end of the forecast on 7 August. You’ll see a few days of 1-foot waves, mostly with onshore or cross-onshore winds, making for poor conditions. The best of that sorry run is Monday, 3 August, morning, with a 1-foot WNW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze, and Tuesday, 4 August, morning with a 2-foot west swell and glassy conditions. But these are tiny, weak waves with low energy.
Overall, the standout is Monday morning, 27 July, at Le Ruppione, with that glassy wind and moderate energy. For a bit of size, the afternoon of the 27th has the power but the wind ruins it. After that, it’s a long, quiet run.

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.
