The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring for La Paloma. We’ve got a lot of small, weak swell and not much push behind it. But don't write it off completely—there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s got some real potential.
The water here is running about 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’ll feel pretty nice on those smaller days.
Right now, and for the next week and a half, we're looking at surf in the 1 to 3 ft range. The wind will be mostly light, with some glassy mornings popping up on the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 14th. These mornings will be surfable, but they’re not going to get the heart racing. The swell energy is weak, mostly under 105, which tells you there's just nothing out there. There will be a few days where the afternoon breeze kicks up a bit of cross-shore chop, so the mornings are definitely your best bet if you're desperate for a knee-high slide.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell. There are lots of days where it's just not worth paddling out. This is one of those periods where you might want to check the forecast again in a few days.
Now, let’s talk about the standout. Mark your calendars for Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd. This is where it gets interesting.
Saturday the 22nd morning sees a jump in size to 5 ft from the NW with a light cross-offshore ENE breeze. The energy kicks up to 437, which is a solid increase. It’s not huge, but it’s a clean 5 ft, which is something to get excited about after all this small stuff.
But Sunday the 23rd morning is the one. We’re looking at a solid 7 ft of NW swell, with a period of 11 seconds. The energy is pumping hard at 1051. This is a real swell. The wind is light and offshore from the ENE, which should keep the faces pretty clean. This is the best looking day in the whole window.
Just a heads-up, though: at 7 ft, this is getting into expert territory. If you’re not comfortable in solid overhead surf, this might be a day to watch from the sand. The period is 11 seconds, which is decent, but this is definitely a bigger, more powerful swell. It’s going to hold up well here, but respect it. The afternoon on Sunday gets a bit bigger at 8 ft, but the wind swings more cross-shore and it looks a bit messier.
So, there you have it. A whole lot of nothing, and then a cracker of a morning on Sunday the 23rd that could be the one to make the wait worthwhile. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath for anything before that.
Rusty.

Information about the La Paloma Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Paloma provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Paloma can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Paloma surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (La Paloma) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 La Paloma 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.
