Right, mate, Rusty here. Gonna level with you straight up: this is a tough one for the Ruppione area. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat or really weak, gutless surf with no real quality to speak of. The forecast opens with a week of nothing but tiny ripple and glassy conditions, but the swell is virtually non-existent – the combined energy is sitting at zero or just 1 for the first ten days, which is about as weak as it gets. The water temperature is a very unusual 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only standout.
Let’s run through the dates. From Saturday 11 July through to Friday 24 July, we’ve got a massive gap. The swell barely registers, barely makes it to 0.3 ft or 0.7 ft, and the period is short and weak. The wind is mostly glassy or light, which is a positive, but there’s nothing to push onto the break. The 20th of July shows a little pulse with 2 ft to 3 ft from the WNW, but the energy is still very low (43–51) and the wind goes cross-onshore, making it messy. The first real sniff of something happens on the morning of Tuesday 21 July, with a 5 ft swell from the WNW, period of 7 seconds, and moderate energy of 183, combined with glassy conditions. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon gets blown out by a strong onshore.
The best of the entire run is a true standout, and it’s a long way off. On the morning of Saturday 25 July, we get a solid 8 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and a powerful combined energy of 1385. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean. This is a big swell, over 8 ft, so it’s strictly for experienced surfers only. The swell direction is from the WNW, which is close to the optimum SW direction, but not perfect. The break is a beach and reef setup, and it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, so this is a rare moment. On Sunday 26 July, the morning still holds 7 ft from the WNW with glassy conditions and strong energy of 955, offering another good window for the same crew.
In short, you’ve got a week-plus of flatness, then a couple of promising but short-lived windows at the very end for the experienced crew. The rest of the time, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially with the cross-onshore winds and the lack of decent waves.
Rusty.
