The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer at Le Ruppione. I gotta be straight with you – it's a grim run for a while. This is an inconsistent, advanced-level beach and reef set-up that really needs a solid push from the SW to fire, and we just aren't getting it in this 16-day window.
First up, the water is about 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 82°. That's very unusual.
For the first week, from now right through until the morning of Sunday the 6th of September, it’s basically a write-off. We’ve got tiny scraps of swell – never getting above 2ft – and the period is short and weak. The combined energy is pitiful, barely cracking double digits (30 or less). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-off, but with no real swell to work with, it doesn't matter. It's just flat out ugly. You'd be wasting your time.
Now, there is a little flicker of hope on the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. A modest 4ft swell from the west rolls in with an 8-second period. The combined energy climbs to a solid 160, which is moderate. The real kicker here is the wind: a gentle offshore breeze from the east, keeping the surface clean. For this spot, that's as good as it gets in this forecast. Don’t get too excited though; the afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore wind, so you’d want to be on it early.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From the 7th of September onward, we’re looking at flat to near-flat conditions all the way through to the 14th. The energy drops to zero. There are a few glassy mornings, but with nothing to ride, it’s just a pretty pond.
So, the one and only standout in this entire 16-day run is that Sunday morning, the 6th of September. It’s not a classic by any means – the west swell isn't quite the optimum SW direction – but 4ft of clean, offshore surf is the only game in town. Don't sleep on it, because that’s all we’re getting.
Stay safe, and keep an eye on the charts. Things have to change eventually.
Rusty.
