Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down Le Ruppione.
We’re looking at a rough start. Nothing worth mentioning for the first week – the first real sign of surf shows up Monday, July 20th. Before that, it’s a dry spell: flat, tiny slivers of swell, and glassy mornings that just don’t produce a rideable wave. A long, quiet gap with only poor surf and weak energy.
Monday morning, July 20th, is the first glimmer. Swell is 3.3ft from the WNW, period 7 seconds, combined energy weak (93). It’s glassy – calm wind – so it’ll look clean. The call is “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Small and weak, but if you’re keen, you might get a waist-high dribbler. Not a standout.
Tuesday morning, July 21st, gets a little more interesting. Swell hits 3.9ft from the WNW, still 7 seconds, but combined energy is moderate (132). Wind is cross-off from the SSE at 12 mph, keeping it clean. This break is inconsistent and for advanced surfers only. The offshore wind is a plus, but the swell direction isn’t matching the optimum SW, so shape will be messy. Still, it’s the cleanest window in the whole run.
Now, the big one. Saturday afternoon, July 25th. Swell pumps to 9.8ft from the west, period 10 seconds, and combined energy is a powerful 1774. That’s a serious pulse. Light onshore wind from the west at 6 mph. This is expert territory – too big for anyone but the experienced. Long-period groundswell at a beach-and-reef setup can close out, but the reef might produce some proper barrels. Crowds are possible, and with this being the only real swell, expect a lineup. It’s a long way off, but it’s the one to watch.
Water temperature is 78.8°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a 5.4° anomaly, very unusual. You’ll be sweating in your wetsuit.

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.
