The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a pretty grim outlook for this region. The first real sniff of anything surfable doesn't even show up until the morning of Friday the 7th of August, and even then, it's barely worth getting out of bed for. We're looking at a long gap of almost no surf to start, so don't even bother checking the cam until then.
For the entire 16-day window, there’s really no standout period. The best we get is a little bump on the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. Le Ruppione, a beach and reef set-up that’s for advanced surfers only and inconsistent at the best of times, might see a bit of life. Swell will be around 4ft from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds. That's not long-period groundswell, just a weak pulse (combined energy of 147). The wind will be light offshore from the ESE, keeping the surface clean. It'll be small and weak, but it's the only window where the conditions line up. The water temp is about 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick suit.
Sunday the 9th of August morning is another slim chance with offshore winds again, but the swell drops right back to around 1ft.
After that, it’s back to mostly flat or tiny, messy junk for the rest of the period. A few mornings around the 16th and 17th of August might show a slight increase in energy, but we're talking 2ft to 2ft waves with poor quality. Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially when the onshores pick up in the afternoons. Keep an eye on the long-range stuff for the 17th of August morning, as the wind looks clean offshore from the east, but don't hold your breath.
For a spot that's inconsistent and rarely breaks, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but for now, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.

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

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.
