The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. The surf’s been on holiday, and it’s taken its time coming back. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, dribbly conditions here, and it’s going to test your patience. The good news is there’s a little pulse of something on the horizon, but it’s not going to be a classic.
Right now, and for the next week and a half, it’s pretty much done for. Sure, you’ll see the odd ripple, maybe a knee-high bump on the sets, but honestly, it’s not worth wetting a wetsuit for. The wind is mostly light, and there are some glassy mornings, but there’s just no swell to push anything through. The water is sitting at 82.6°, which is a solid 5.9° warmer than it should be for this time of year – that’s a big deal, the ocean’s got a fever.
The first real sign of life shows up on Monday the 18th. It’s small, real small, but the energy starts to build. We’ve got a weak swell coming from the northwest, with wave heights around 1ft in the morning building slightly to 1.3ft by the afternoon. The period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s not going to have any punch. The combined energy is weak, sitting at 4, then up to 6. The morning looks glassy, but the afternoon gets a light cross-onshore breeze, which will put a few ripples on it. It’s not going to be world-class, but it’s the first thing we’ve had. Le Ruppione is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the west, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting around. It’s also an advanced wave, so only for those who know what they’re doing.
Then, we’ve got the period from the 23rd. Sunday the 23rd sees a tiny 0.3ft bump from the southwest, with a 6-second period. The energy is a paltry 2. The morning has a light offshore wind, which is a plus, but the afternoon gets messy. Monday the 24th is similar, with a clean, glassy morning and a 0.3ft southwest swell, but it’s still tiny.
So, here’s the deal. There are no standouts. The best on offer is that Monday the 18th, but it’s really just a case of getting wet and hoping for a reform. The whole window is a write-off in terms of decent waves. The period is short, the swell is tiny, and Le Ruppione is an inconsistent spot. For a spot like this, a blank run isn't out of the ordinary. It could be a good time to check the forecast again in a few days. The ocean’s always changing, so don’t count it out entirely, but for now, leave the board in the car.
