Ruppione
Edit SpotAbout
I live right on top of the spot, you can have waves all year long but more frenquently on fall, winter and spring time.
Atmosphere:
park your car where ever you can but you can drive directly on the beach by turning right, right after a restaurant called "l'auberge du ruppione!! Good vibes, respect surf priorities especially with locals. but nice!!
Additional Info:
the Beach of "ruppione" has two spots, the best is near the rocks totaly on the left facing the water, the wave closes around a big rock wich makes it more powerfull and produces a nice left. you also have a chanel to go out!!
and the second spot is totaly on the opposite right of the beach, more like a beach sand( can be just as good if the swell comes more from the west.
