The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's brewing in your local stretch.
First up, the honest truth: we're looking at a pretty bleak run of surf for a while. There's a big gap of no real surf to start with. The first few days, right through to the 17th of August, are virtually flat with only tiny, weak waves and no real energy at all. You're looking at a full week or more where you could leave the boards in the shed. It's a frustrating start, but hang in there.
Things start to show a tiny pulse on the morning of Monday the 18th of August. Le Ruppione will see a small 3ft swell from the west, but with a short period of 7 seconds and the combined energy is only moderate (92). The conditions are glassy though, with a slight offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean but the waves will be pretty weak. Don't get your hopes up. By the afternoon, a 7ft west-northwest swell rolls in, but the period only hits 8 seconds and the onshore wind at 12 mph will trash it, so it’s only for the experts, and even then it'll be a mess.
The morning of Wednesday the 19th of August looks to be the best of a bad lot. We've got a 4ft west swell with a 7-second period and a light offshore easterly wind at 6 mph. The combined energy is moderate (127) and conditions should be clean. It’s still not great, but it's the most surfable you'll see. It's a beach and reef setup, so that longer period might make it a bit straight, but with the offshore wind you might snag a couple.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. From the 20th right through to the end of the month, the swell barely gets a kick. The energy is almost always below 100 (weak), with tiny waves and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. A couple of mornings, like the 23rd and 24th, will be glassy, but the waves are too small to bother with. Even the morning of Friday the 28th of August, with a clean 2ft west swell and offshore wind, the energy is still weak (76). It's just not happening.
So, to sum it up: the only real window is the morning of the 19th of August for a few clean, but small, waves. If you're desperate, that’s your moment. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
