The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our stretch of coast.
We’re in for a bit of a slow start, but there’s a real beauty lined up for the weekend that’s got my attention. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The best of the best is going to be La Paloma, and it’s all about Saturday the 5th of September. That morning, we’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the NNW, with a long period of 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is glassy offshore from the ENE, so the surface will be like a mirror. The combined energy is a solid 1318, which is strong and punchy. This is excellent surf, but it’s for the experienced crew – that size and power ain’t messing around. It’s a very consistent spot, and with that kind of quality, you can expect company.
Monday the 31st of August is a decent warm-up. The morning has a clean 6ft NW swell, with that same long 10-second period, and the wind is glassy – zero from the WNW. The water’s nice and warm, and the energy is at 647, so it’s got some push. It’s a very good session, though it’ll be a little more manageable than Saturday.
The rest of the first week is pretty quiet. Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, has a clean 4ft NW swell, but the energy drops to 272. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. From Wednesday the 2nd through to Friday the 4th, the swell drops right off – we’re talking knee-high dribble with very low energy, in the 20-70 range. It’s a real flat spell, about four days of nothing much.
After that Saturday standout, Sunday the 6th of September has a cleaner 4ft NNW swell with 302 energy, but the wind is a bit more on it. The following week has a few pulses, but nothing that screams "go." The 14th of September, Monday, has a 5ft NNW swell with a very long 16-second period and 1219 energy, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, making it messy. Tuesday the 15th of September morning looks promising again – a 6ft NW swell with 13-second period, 955 energy, and glassy offshore wind from the ENE. That’s another quality session, but it’s further out, so keep an eye on it.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are slow, but Monday the 31st of August has a good morning. The real standout is Saturday the 5th of September morning – that’s the one to circle. Then there’s a dry spell again until the 15th of September, which has potential.
Stay stoked, and I’ll see you in the water.

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.
