The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down what’s happening at La Paloma.
Water temp is about 68°, which is standard for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The next few days are pretty flat and messy. We’ve got tiny waves and cross-winds from Tuesday through the end of the week, with combined swell energy mostly under 100 (29-77). Even when it nudges up on Friday, the wind is too cross or cross-on to make it any good. It’s a dry spell, so don’t bother suiting up yet.
The first real window opens Monday, August 31st. Morning is glassy, with a clean 5ft NW swell and a 10-second period. The combined energy is 441 (moderate), and with zero wind, it’s going to be clean. That’s the pick for the first week. Tuesday morning, September 1st, is also glassy with a 5ft NW swell (400 energy), so another good option. Expect crowds.
Wednesday, September 2nd, morning is glassy again with a 5ft NW swell (343 energy). Three glassy mornings in a row – that’s a rare run.
Then it drops off again. Friday and Saturday are small and weak, with energy under 100 (70 and 53). Not worth the paddle.
But then, Monday, September 7th, we get a tiny but incredibly long-period 21-second groundswell from the NW. The energy is moderate (368), and with glassy conditions in the morning, it’s a good call for a point or reef. Waves will be small, but the quality and shape could be something special.
The big one hits Tuesday, September 8th. Morning glass, 8ft of NW swell at 14 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 3104. That’s very strong, and it’s only for experienced surfers. This is the best of the whole outlook. The direction is perfect for La Paloma, and with that period, it’ll be powerful and well-shaped. Afternoon drops a bit but still has 7ft and 1348 energy.
Wednesday, September 9th, morning is glassy again with 5ft NW swell (352 energy), a great follow-up session.
So, bottom line: the first week is mostly a dud, with a gold run of three glassy mornings starting Monday August 31st. The second week brings a tiny, freak groundswell on Monday September 7th, and then the standout: Tuesday September 8th for the big, powerful, glassy NW swell. That’s the one to mark on the calendar.
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.
