The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for La Paloma over the next couple of weeks.
First up, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. Sunday the 19th is pretty flat and messy, not worth paddling out for. The real action kicks off on Monday morning the 20th. That’s when we start seeing some proper swell. Monday morning is the standout early in the run: clean, glassy, with a solid 6 ft swell from the NNE. The combined energy is moderate (370), and the wind is dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. This is a good one for intermediate surfers – not too big, not too small. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
Tuesday morning the 21st will also be worth a session, with 5 ft from the NNE and light cross-offshore winds keeping it clean. The energy is a bit lower (245), but still fun. By Wednesday the 22nd, we’ve got another glassy morning, 5 ft from the NE, moderate energy (237). That stretch of Monday to Wednesday mornings is the best of the first week, no doubt.
After that, the swell drops off hard. Thursday the 23rd through the end of July is mostly small, weak, and windy. A few days of tiny, short-period swell and poor conditions. You’ll be waiting through a bit of a dry spell from Thursday afternoon all the way through to Tuesday the 28th.
But hold on – the second week lights up again. Tuesday morning the 28th brings a return of solid 4 ft from the NNW with light cross-offshore winds and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (235). Then Wednesday the 29th morning is even better for energy (333) with the same size and direction, glassy early. The real standout of the whole forecast, though, is Saturday the 1st of August. That morning we’ve got 6 ft from the NNW, very strong energy (590), and light cross-offshore winds. Conditions are clean, and the long-period swell (10 seconds) will give you some proper groundswell lines. This is one for the intermediate crew – not too big, but punchy enough to get your heart rate up. Crowds are likely at La Paloma, so get there early.
The run continues into Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd with clean, glassy mornings and 4 ft from the NNW, but the energy drops off a bit. Overall, the best windows are Monday morning the 20th and Saturday morning the 1st of August. The long-range Saturday is a bit less certain, but it’s looking promising.
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.
