The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down this 16-day window for Le Ruppione. It’s a real slow period, with a big empty gap at the start before anything even shows up.
The first bit of surf comes in on the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. It’s barely a ripple, 0.7ft from the west with a short period. The combined energy is a weak 1. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s nothing behind it. Thursday the 10th is a little better, with a morning swell of 4ft from the WNW, period around 8 seconds, and energy hitting 169 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-on, so it’s a bit messy. By the afternoon, the swell is 4ft from the west, energy 206 (moderate), but the wind is onshore at 15 km/h. Poor surf.
Friday the 11th is the best of the lot. The morning offers a clean 3ft west swell, period 7 seconds. The wind is offshore at 15 km/h from the east, so it’s clean. The combined energy is only 93 (weak), but it’s the most surfable window. The afternoon goes onshore and is useless again.
Saturday the 12th morning is similar: 5ft west swell, period 7 seconds, energy 187 (moderate), and clean offshore wind from the ESE. That’s the other window to look at, but the swell is still short-period and lacks punch. The afternoon turns into a cross-shore chop.
After that, it drops off a cliff. From Sunday the 13th, we’re looking at tiny waves under 2ft, and then from the 16th of September, it’s flat for over a week, right through to the 23rd. No energy at all.
The water temperature is 82°, which is a massive 4° warmer than usual – that’s very unusual, like a warm bathtub. For Le Ruppione, an exposed beach and reef setup, it’s inconsistent at the best of times. When it’s this flat, and the wind is often onshore, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The only real standouts are the Friday 11th and Saturday 12th mornings, but even they are nothing to get excited about. A couple of windows of clean, waist-high, weak swell. That’s the best on offer.

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.
