The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for the Ruppione stretch.
Honestly, for a good stretch here, this outlook is pretty flat. We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing for the first few days, with only tiny, weak swells showing up. The water’s sitting at 82°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – feels like bath water.
The first proper chance for a paddle is Friday morning, August 7th. We’ll see a small, weak pulse of swell push in from the WNW, around 3ft. The combined energy is still pretty weak at just 82. The wind will be light and offshore, making for clean conditions. It’s not going to be anything to write home about, just surfable waves in very ordinary conditions.
After that, it's back into a slump. There are a few glassy mornings with tiny waves, but nothing that sparks any real interest until Saturday the 15th. Saturday morning shows a similar story to the previous week – 3ft from the WNW with glassy conditions. It’s a small, clean wave for the early bird, but nothing special.
Sunday the 16th looks almost identical, with 3ft WNW and another glassy morning, and by Monday the 17th we finally see a bit more energy with a 3ft WNW swell and a combined energy just tickling 101 – the first time we climb into that moderate energy level. The morning has some offshore wind, keeping it clean.
The best looking session in the whole run is Wednesday morning, August 19th. A 4ft swell from the W with a combined energy of 95 and a light cross-offshore breeze. The conditions look clean. It’s not a huge day, but it’s the most promising window we have.
Keep in mind, Le Ruppione is an inconsistent, exposed beach and reef set-up that works best with a SW swell. A lot of these smaller WNW pulses might not set the bank up perfectly. Also, it’s a spot that can get crowded sometimes, so expect some company if the waves show up.
The end of the forecast brings a spike to 8ft on Wednesday afternoon with a huge energy reading of 1027. But with onshore wind and a "marginal" call, that looks more like a blown-out, expert-only mess than a good surf session. It might be more interesting for the kite crew than a paddle surfer.
So, overall, it’s a waiting game. Sunday the 16th morning and Wednesday the 19th morning are your best bets.
Rusty.

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.
