The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got for Le Ruppione over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, the outlook is pretty grim. There’s a real bare patch coming. After a tiny window on Monday morning, the 27th of July, the surf packs up and doesn’t really offer anything worth paddling out for again until maybe the 9th of August, and even then it’s not much to write home about. You’re looking at over a week of flat, junk, or close-to-nothing conditions.
The only real moment that’s worth mentioning is Monday morning, the 27th of July. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell from the west, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy – dead calm from the WSW at 3 mph. It’s going to be smooth as a lake out there. The combined energy of all swells is moderate, sitting at 284. The water’s a balmy 81°, which is about 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a treat. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions,” and for a spot that’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, you’ll want to be on it early. Just keep in mind crowds are possible, and it’s exposed to the SW, so that west swell is a good match.
After that Monday morning, it falls apart. Monday afternoon goes cross-on and choppy. Tuesday the 28th has a tiny 3 ft swell but it’s short period and small. From Wednesday the 29th right through to the 8th of August, the swell drops to almost nothing – we’re talking 1 ft or less, with periods of 4 to 6 seconds and combined energy barely hitting double digits. The wind is either glassy but with no swell, or cross-onshore and messy. It’s just not worth the paddle.
There’s a flicker of hope on Sunday the 9th of August, with a 2 ft west-northwest swell, period of 6 seconds, and light offshore wind from the east at 3 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 42, and it’s clean. But it’s small, and the period is short, so it’s not going to be a classic. After that, the wind picks up strong from the west-northwest on the 10th and 11th, hitting 19 to 22 mph, making it lumpy and cross-on. The swell is only 2 ft to 3 ft, so it’s more of a blown-out mess than anything else.
So, bottom line: if you’re an advanced surfer and you can get out on Monday morning, 27th July, that’s your one shot. After that, it’s a long wait. For the rest of the period, it’s more of a kite-surfing scene with the strong onshore winds, not a paddle-surfing day.
Rusty.

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.
