The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a pretty bleak stretch for Le Ruppione. We’re looking at a long dry spell with hardly any real surf. For the first week and a half, the ocean is basically flat or offering tiny, weak junk. The only day that even gets a mention is Tuesday, 18th August, and that’s more of a blink than a real window.
Tuesday morning looks like the one brief highlight. A 5ft swell from the west (period 7 seconds) rolls in with clean offshore wind from the east. The combined swell energy sits at 235 (moderate), so there’s some push, but the period is short. This won’t be a classic – it’s a little fat and weak on the face. Still, the wind is right, so if you’re an advanced surfer and you’re desperate, that’s your shot. The water is a balmy 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – over 5°F above average, so pretty unusual.
Now, here’s the catch: Le Ruppione is a beach and reef break that’s inconsistent, and it rarely breaks well. Even on Tuesday morning, the swell’s short period means it’ll wall up quickly and won’t hold a decent shape for long. Good luck finding a proper wall, and crowds are possible – it is exposed to the swell, so if there’s anything rideable, people will be out.
After that morning, it fades again fast. Tuesday afternoon turns cross-onshore, and from Wednesday 19th through to Friday 28th, it’s mostly tiny, weak, or blown out. We get a little bump on Friday 28th morning (4ft, west, 7 seconds, offshore wind), but again, it’s ordinary at best – surfable but nothing to write home about. The combined energy is 127, barely moderate.
The bottom line? There’s nothing that stands out as good surf. The only day that’s even worth a look is Tuesday 18th August morning. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re better off doing something else. It’s a normal blank run for this spot, though. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is grim.
Rusty.

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.
