The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it: the 16-day outlook for Le Ruppione is a total flat spell. No surf recommendations at all, from now through the 13th of September. It’s a long stretch of nothing.
Starting on Saturday the 29th of August, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the west, with a 6-second period. The combined energy is only 26, which is weak. A light cross-shore wind in the morning can’t save it – the waves are poor.
Sunday the 30th is the same story: 2ft from the west-northwest, 6-second period, combined energy of 30. The morning shows a clean cross-offshore breeze, but it’s just too small to do anything with.
The whole first week of September is a bust. Monday the 31st of August has 1.0ft, Tuesday the 1st of September 2ft, Wednesday the 2nd of September you get glassy conditions but only 0.7ft of swell – the combined energy is 1. That’s basically flat. Thursday and Friday the 3rd and 4th of September are the same: tiny, weak swells with short periods.
Saturday the 5th of September shows a slight bump to 3ft from the west, with a 7-second period and combined energy of 92. That’s still weak, and the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, making it choppy. The water is 82°F, which is almost 7°F warmer than normal – very unusual. But the wave quality is still poor. It’s not going to fire.
From Sunday the 6th onwards, it’s back to tiny dribbles. Glassy mornings on the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th of September, with swells barely reaching 1ft and periods of 4 to 5 seconds. The combined energy rarely gets into double digits. By the 13th of September, we’ve got a 2ft swell from the northwest with a pathetic 3-second period – that’s pure wind chop.
Le Ruppione is an exposed beach and reef setup, and it’s inconsistent. A blank run like this is normal for the area. The water is warm, but that’s the only perk. Kite surfers might find something in those stronger afternoon winds, but for a paddle surfer, there’s nothing worth chasing. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
