The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s on offer for Le Ruppione over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be straight with you – the first week is a write-off. A total blank. From now until the morning of the 18th, there’s just nothing doing. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82°F – that’s a full 5°F above what we’d expect for this time of year, which is wild. But all that warm water isn’t bringing any energy. We’ve got a few days of glassy mornings, like the 13th, 14th, and 15th, but with no swell to speak of, it’s just a flat, pretty pond. If you’re itching for a paddle, you’re just going for a float.
The first real sign of life shows up on the morning of Tuesday, 18th August. We get a bump of swell from the WNW at 4ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (157), and with a light offshore breeze from the east, it’ll be clean. But honestly, it’s a short-period, pretty ordinary little wave. It’s surfable, but nothing to call home about. The afternoon gets chopped up by an onshore wind, so grab that morning window if you’re desperate.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The 19th through the 21st offer tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The 22nd morning shows a little more promise with a 3ft, 7-second swell from the west and clean conditions. The energy is still meager (86) though. It’s a slight improvement, but still a pretty marginal day for an advanced spot like this.
The rest of the run into the 25th is just more of the same: flat spells, glassy mornings with no swell, and a few tiny, onshore bumpy afternoons.
Look, this is an exposed spot that can be inconsistent. When it’s on, it’s on. But this sixteen-day stretch is a lean one. There’s no standout, no session you’d circle on the calendar. The best you’ll get is a mediocre, clean wave on the 18th morning. It’s not a total washout, but it’s close. If you’ve got a kite, this might be more interesting than a surfboard right now.
Stay patient. 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. 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.
