The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks at Le Ruppione. It’s a bit of a slow start, but we’ve got a couple of moments that might just get the heart racing.
The first half of the outlook is pretty grim. We’re looking at small, weak, and mostly messy surf from now through to the middle of next week. The energy is low, with combined swell readings barely hitting double digits, and when there is a wave, it’s short-period windswell. The wind is all over the place, often onshore or cross-onshore, so the water’s going to be choppy and uninviting. There’s a real dry spell here for about a week, with nothing worth paddling out for.
The first hint of life shows up on the morning of Thursday, September 17th. The wind goes light offshore from the east, and a solid 7ft groundswell from the west pushes in with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 676 (moderate to strong), and the conditions are clean. For an advanced break like Le Ruppione, that’s the real standout of the whole period. It’s a beach and reef setup, so that long-period groundswell might be a bit too straight for the sandbars, but the power and the clean face will be there. This is your window.
The real drama comes on Monday, September 21st. The models are showing a massive 13ft swell from the west-northwest with a 10-second period, and the energy reading is a massive 2908 (very strong). That is way too big for this spot. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the conditions would be clean, but the sheer size will make it a dangerous, washed-out mess for all but the most experienced. It’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle-surfing day. The afternoon stays huge at 10ft, but the wind swings onshore, ruining it anyway.
After that, things settle back down to small and poor for the rest of the window. The Tuesday morning after the big swell (September 22) has a 5ft swell with clean conditions, but it’s nothing special compared to the 17th.
So, if you’re looking for a paddle, your best bet is the morning of Thursday, September 17th. That’s the one. After that, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
