The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase: it’s a flat spell for Le Ruppione (Italy). We’ve got a long dry run ahead. The first half of the 16-day window is basically a write-off – tiny dribbles of swell that just won’t deliver. The real problem is that the region is exposed to SW swells, but the models are showing next to nothing from that direction for over a week.
Looking at the specifics: Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th offer nothing but knee-high slop. The wave energy is a measly 1 to 6 (combined energy of all swells directed here), which is about as weak as it gets. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
We do get a tiny pulse on the morning of Sunday the 19th. We’ll see some 3ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, not the good stuff. The wind is glassy early, which is a major positive for clean conditions, but the swell is so weak (energy value of 68) that it’s barely surfable. It’s still a “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” kind of deal. For a spot that’s already inconsistent and only for advanced crew, this is a frustrating stretch.
The second week of the forecast remains grim. The end of July and into the 29th is a total blank. No swell, glassy mornings, but nothing to ride. This kind of extended flatness is normal for the area during this time of year, unfortunately.
There are no standout days here. The nearest thing to a recommendation is that Sunday morning the 19th, but even then, it’s only for the die-hards on a log. Keep the wax in the wrapper. Rusty.

Information about the Le Ruppione Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Le Ruppione provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Le Ruppione can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Le Ruppione surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Le Ruppione) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
