The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk real talk about what’s going down at Le Ruppione over the next couple of weeks. It’s a waiting game, no doubt about it.
We kick things off Tuesday the 18th with the only real wave on the radar. You’re looking at about 5ft of west swell, but it’s a short 7-second period, so it’s weak and crumbly. The morning cleans up with that light east offshore wind, and the water is a balmy 29°C—that’s a full 4°C warmer than it should be, so bring your spring suit, not a wetsuit. The energy is weak, only 195, so it’ll be surfable but nothing exciting. The afternoon gets chopped up by the cross-onshore wind, so make the most of the morning.
Wednesday the 19th drops to 3ft. It’s clean in the morning, but it’s gutless with the energy down to 61. The afternoon turns to wind chop. From Thursday the 20th through Monday the 24th, the swell basically disappears. We’re talking knee-high slop and energy numbers in the single digits to low tens. It’s flat out, plain and simple.
There’s a little bump on Tuesday the 25th with 3ft to 4ft of swell in the afternoon, but the wind swings onshore and makes it messy. Not worth the paddle.
The rest of the window is a write-off. The wave heights are nothing, and on Thursday the 27th we get gale-force winds at 25 mph out of the WNW. That’s kite-surfing weather, not surfing weather. There are a couple of mornings with light offshore winds, but the swell is just not there—0.9ft, 1ft, nothing with any power.
So, if you're looking for the best bet, it’s Tuesday morning. After that, it’s a lot of wall-sitting and hoping for a change. This is a spot that’s known for being inconsistent, and this stretch is proving it. A blank run like this is more normal for the area, so don’t stress. Forecasts can shift, but right now, it’s a quiet season.

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.
