The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s coming up.
Well, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch for the Ruppione area. The whole 16-day window is looking flat as a pancake for the most part. We’ve got a few tiny pulses of swell, but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. The first real chance of a wave comes on Saturday the 12th, but it’s a sad affair. We’ve got a weak 2ft swell from the west with only 6 seconds between waves and a combined energy reading of just 36 (weak). The morning looks clean with a light easterly offshore breeze at 6 mph, but it’s just not enough oomph. The wind swings onshore by the afternoon, so that’s that.
Sunday the 13th is even worse, dropping to 1ft and then 0.7ft. Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 16th is a dead flat, zero-surf zone. Absolutely nothing.
There’s a tiny flicker of hope on Thursday the 17th morning. It’s glassy with a 1ft swell from the west-northwest, period of 6 seconds, and energy at 8 (weak). Still poor. Then Friday the 18th gives us a 2ft morning with 6 seconds, clean with offshore wind. The best we see in this whole outlook is also on Thursday afternoon, where the swell bumps up to 2ft with a period of 8 seconds from the west and the energy jumps to 43 (weak). But the wind is onshore at 9 mph, so it’s messy.
After the 20th of September, it’s all downhill into flatness again. There’s a long gap from around Sunday the 22nd right through to Sunday the 27th with nothing at all. Honestly, there is no standout session here. The whole period is a write-off for decent surf. It’s a beach and reef setup, but with wave energy this weak, it’s not even worth paddling out. If you’ve got a kite, the afternoon onshore winds might give you something to do, but for a surfboard? Save your energy.
Rusty.
