The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let me tell you, if you’re hanging out for a wave at Le Ruppione (beach and reef), you’re gonna need some patience. This is a spot that’s *inconsistent* at the best of times, and the next week and a half is mostly flat or junk.
For the first ten days, it’s pretty grim. From Friday the 7th right through to Monday the 17th of August, we’ve got a long dry spell. Most days show zero swell, and when there is a tiny pulse – like that 1ft on Sunday the 9th morning, or a 0.7ft on Thursday the 13th afternoon – it’s so small and weak it’s not even worth paddling out. The combined energy is barely registering, down around 1 to 54 (weak). The wind is light and glassy on some mornings, but there’s just nothing to ride.
Then things finally start looking up around Monday the 17th afternoon. We get a little bump up to 4ft from the west, but it’s a cross-onshore wind and the energy is still only moderate (155). It’s not great.
The standout window comes on Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th of August. Tuesday morning is the pick of the bunch for me. We’ve got a 7ft swell rolling in from the WNW with an 8-second period and moderate energy (484). The wind is offshore from the ESE at 6 mph, so the faces should be clean. That’s a solid size – getting up into expert territory for sure, so leave the foam boards at home. Wednesday morning is another cracker: 6ft from the west with a longer 10-second period and strong energy (589). The wind is glassy calm – absolutely perfect conditions. The swell direction (W) matches the optimum direction for Le Ruppione (SW) reasonably well, so it should wrap in nicely. Just be aware, crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so get in early.
After that, Thursday the 20th turns ugly with fresh cross-onshore winds up to 19 mph and lumpy conditions, and it fades back to tiny, messy dribble through to Saturday the 22nd.
So, to be straight with you: there’s only two real moments to get excited about – Tuesday the 18th morning and Wednesday the 19th morning. Everything else is a flat or a write-off. But when it’s on, it’s on.
Stay salty,
Rusty

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.

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.
