Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Paloma over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what we’ve got coming down the line for La Paloma. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for paddle surfing. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and mostly crummy wind. Let’s break it down.
Right from the start on Thursday the 9th, we’re looking at tiny 2ft NW windswell with a weak 46 combined energy. That’s not gonna do much, and with a cross-onshore breeze it’s just messy.
Friday the 10th morning offers the absolute best chance you’ll see for a while. We get a glassy, off-shore NW wind and a bit of 2ft NW swell. The energy is still low at 75, but it’s clean. It’s the standout of the whole outlook, but keep your expectations in check – it’s still very ordinary.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Saturday the 11th all the way through to about Tuesday the 22nd, the surf basically flatlines. We’re talking day after day of 1ft to 2ft dribble, and the wind is nearly always cross or cross-onshore. The water temp is currently 65°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
We do see a slight bump around Monday the 20th and into Tuesday the 21st, with the swell climbing to 3ft from the NW, but the period is short – only 7 to 8 seconds – and the wind is cross-shore. The combined energy bumps up to 169 on the 20th afternoon, which is moderate, but it’s still poor surf conditions. Not the kind of quality that’s worth getting excited about.
Honestly, for anyone who’s not a kite surfer, this is a tough run. The beach setup and these onshore/cross-shore winds with short-period swell would actually be more appealing to the kite crew than us paddle surfers. There’s just no decent wave shape on offer. A blank run like this is common for the area when the wind and swell don't align.
If you’re desperate, that Friday morning glass-off is the only window. After that, it’s a waiting game.
Stay patient,
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.
