The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week is a flat spell. From Wednesday the 22nd of July right through to Sunday the 26th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the energy is weak. The water is sitting at 82°F and it’s a full 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – you’re basically swimming in a bath. But for surfing? Nothing doing. A few mornings have glassy conditions, but there’s no push to ride.
Now, come Monday the 27th of July, things finally wake up. That morning, we get a solid pulse of west swell hitting 7ft with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 552 (moderate-strong stuff). The wind is dead calm – glassy. That’s the standout of the whole forecast. Le Ruppione is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the SW, so this west swell will wrap in nicely. The break is rated for advanced surfers, and with 7ft on offer, it’s too big for beginners. The swell is a bit short-period (8 seconds), so it’ll be a bit lumpy and sectiony, but that clean, glassy morning will make it useable. It’s inconsistent here, so don’t expect a set every minute, but when it comes, it’ll have some punch. Crowds are possible on a day like this.
That Monday afternoon the wind shifts onshore and the quality drops. The rest of the week after that? Back to small, weak swells, mostly under 2ft, and a lot of cross-onshore winds. There’s a stretch from Tuesday the 28th through to Monday the 3rd of August where the energy is either very low or zero. A few glassy mornings, but no real swell to push you. Then from the 4th to the 6th of August, it’s flat – zero swell, nothing but a ripple.
So, bottom line: the only real window here is the morning of Monday the 27th of July. If you’re an advanced surfer and can handle a bit of short-period bump, that’s your chance. The rest of the 16 days is a long, quiet run. Sometimes it just goes like that around here.
Rusty.
