The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting off with a bit of a flat spell, I’m afraid. The first few days are a write-off, but it’s not all bad news. The main event looks like it’s shaping up for Monday the 27th of July at La Paloma. That’s when things finally get interesting.
The early part of the week is a tough one. Sunday the 26th is a total dud with barely a bump and onshore winds. You’d be better off working on your tan.
Then Monday morning the 27th rolls in proper. The swell is coming from the NNW at about 5ft, with a solid 10-second period – that’s some real groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate (446), and we’ve got a sweet cross-offshore wind from the ENE. The water is 66°, which is about normal for this time of year. This is the standout session of the whole outlook. It’s not too big for intermediates, but with that bigger swell, it’s got some push. The swell direction is a solid match for that NW optimum. Crowds are something to think about though, as it can get busy here.
Tuesday the 28th is still holding on. The swell drops a touch to about 4ft in the morning, but the wind goes glassy. That’s a major positive – clean, smooth conditions. The swell is still from the NNW with a 10-second period, and the energy is moderate (240). It’s a quieter, more relaxed day than Monday, but still worth a paddle.
After that, it’s a long, slow fade. From Wednesday the 29th right through to the second week of August, the swell just drops off. We’re talking tiny waves, short periods, and messy conditions. The morning of Tuesday the 4th of August has a little pulse of about 2ft from the NNW with a 10-second period and glassy wind, but it’s weak (183 energy) and not really enough to get excited about. The rest of that week is all small, weak, and often cross-shore.
The second week is a real struggle. A few mornings have glassy conditions but the swell is tiny – 2ft or less. The 9th of August morning has a bit of a clean 2ft wave from the WNW, but it’s not a proper session. There’s nothing here that can compete with that Monday the 27th.
So, to sum it up: your best bet is Monday morning the 27th of July at La Paloma. Get in the water early, it’s going to be the best of the bunch. Everything else is a wait-and-see for the next pulse.
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.
