The Lowdown
Listen up, folks. Rusty here, checking the charts for Le Ruppione, and I’ll tell you right now – it’s a long, flat road ahead. We’ve got 16 days in the forecast, and there’s just no juice in it. The water’s sitting at a balmy 82°F, which is nearly 6°F warmer than normal – that’s a big anomaly, so it's gonna feel like a hot tub out there.
The whole run starts weak. Wednesday the 26th has a tiny 1ft swell out of the WSW with a short 6-second period and a combined energy of just (12). A light offshore breeze in the morning will keep the surface clean, but it’s a poor day. The afternoon goes onshore.
Thursday the 27th is even smaller at 0.7ft. Friday the 28th gives you the best wind of the whole window – dead glass in the morning – but the swell is almost nothing at 0.7ft, 5-second period, and energy of (2). You’re not riding that.
Saturday the 29th picks up a little more energy (40), but the swell is a messy 2ft with cross-onshore winds making it choppy. Sunday the 30th has glassy conditions again in the morning, but the swell is already fading. By Monday the 31st, the numbers bottom out, and we see a string of days with energy values of (1) or (0). The first week of September brings one tiny pulse – Tuesday the 1st shows 3ft from the WNW with a 7-second period and a combined energy of (58). The morning wind is a clean cross-offshore, so it’ll look nice, but there’s just not enough power.
From the 4th of September onward, it’s a dead zone. Multiple days with zero swell. The 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th are almost completely flat. You might see a 0.3ft blip here and there, but with energy of (1), it’s not worth paddling out for.
Bottom line: For this 16-day stretch, there’s nothing to recommend. This is a real blank run, and it's pretty normal for the area when the swell windows don’t line up. Le Ruppione is a beach and reef setup, and with the westerly winds and small chop on a few days, it’d be better for a kite than a surfboard. Don’t bother waxing up.

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.
