The Lowdown
Alright, I’m just gonna level with you straight up. It’s been a tough stretch for us here at Le Ruppione. The forecast window runs from now through the 16 days, but I’m looking at it and honestly, there’s a lot of flat, wind-blown nothing. You’re gonna have to be patient.
The first bit of surf that’s even worth a mention doesn’t show up until Monday morning, the 27th of July. That’s a solid gap of a few days with nothing to ride. Come Monday morning, we get a bit of a pulse: a 4ft swell from the west, with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 161, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the ESE, keeping things clean. For a spot that’s exposed and inconsistent, this is about as good as it gets in this run. The water is 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s over three degrees above average, very unusual.
Tuesday morning, the 28th, has a similar vibe but smaller: 3ft from the west, 7-second period, glassy conditions with an ENE breeze. It’s surfable, but just barely. The energy drops to 63.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. For days, we’ve got nothing but zeros and flat lines. The next tiny flicker of life comes on Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, with a 3ft WNW swell (7 seconds) and 83 energy. It’s glassy, but it’s weak. Then on Wednesday the 5th, a measly 1ft WNW swell with a cross-off wind, but it’s so small it’s barely a ripple.
The rest of the window? Forget it. Tiny swells, onshore winds, and total flat spells. For a spot like Le Ruppione that’s already inconsistent, this is a pretty normal blank run, unfortunately. The only real standout – and I use that word lightly – is that Monday morning the 27th. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but it’s the cleanest, most rideable wave in the whole 16 days. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window.
The rest of the time, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with strong cross-onshore winds and no real wave face.
Stay patient, folks. It’ll turn.

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.
