The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what this stretch has in store for us.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough run ahead. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with next to nothing rideable for the first nine days. From now through the end of August and into the first couple of days of September, it’s flat or near-flat junk. Tiny dribbles, poor conditions, no energy. You can leave the board in the shed.
The one and only real standout in this whole 16-day window pops up on the 5th of September. That’s a Saturday morning, and it’s a big one. Le Ruppione will see a solid 13 ft swell rolling in from the WNW, and with a 10-second period, it’s got some proper groundswell muscle behind it. The combined energy is massive, coming in at 3002 (strong to very strong wave energy). The morning wind is a gentle cross-shore from the NNW, keeping things just about manageable. But let’s be real – this isn't a day for everyone. At 13 ft, it’s expert-only territory, and the break itself is an inconsistent, advanced beach and reef setup that only breaks rarely. You need to know your limits and your lineup. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The crowds will be there *sometimes*, but when a spot this tricky pumps that big, you might have a bit more room.
Before that, the morning of the 4th of September (Friday) sees a 7 ft WNW swell come through, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it choppy and poor. Not worth the paddle. The days after the 5th keep pumping big, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore and strong, ruining what could be a good thing. The 8th of September is smaller again, but the wind is still messy.
So here’s the call: the first nine days are a total write-off. The only real window is the morning of the 5th of September at Le Ruppione, and that’s a big wave, expert-only score. Mark the date.
Rusty.
