The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow start for this stretch, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel if you’re patient.
We’re looking at a long, quiet run for the first eleven days or so. For the most part, the swell is tiny and messy, and the wind isn’t doing us any favours. There’s a brief pulse of energy on the morning of Sunday, September 6th, with a 4ft swell from the west (7 seconds) and light cross-offshore wind. The combined energy hits 114 (moderate), but it’s a very ordinary, surfable wave at best – nothing to get excited about. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 82°.
The real standout, and the only one worth circling on the calendar, arrives on Saturday, September 12th. That morning, we get a clean 5ft swell from the west, with an 8-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy jumps to 324 (moderate), which is the best we’ll see. This is a proper, clean wave at Le Ruppione (a beach and reef setup), and with that offshore wind, it’ll be smooth. It’s an exposed, inconsistent spot, and it’s for advanced surfers only – 5ft is getting into the “too big for beginners” zone. The swell direction from the west is a good match for the optimum southwest direction, so the shape should be decent. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
The rest of the period is a write-off. After that Saturday morning, it drops back to tiny or flat, with no real quality to chase. The long gap before the 12th is a tough one – nearly a week and a half of waiting for that one good session.
Rusty.
