The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming up over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a long stretch of mostly ho-hum conditions, but there are a couple windows that are worth waiting for.
The first weekend is flat and funky. Saturday and Sunday morning have tiny surf, barely enough to get wet, with cross-shore breezes messing things up. Water temp is about normal for this time of year—nothing unusual. Monday afternoon sees a jump to about 7ft from the NE, but it’s short period and a moderate cross-shore makes it choppy. That’s more of a kiteboarding day than a paddling session.
Tuesday, July 21 offers the first real chance. La Paloma sees about 6ft of NE swell—still short period, but winds go cross-offshore and the morning is clean. Energy is moderate (303). Not a classic, but it’s doable, and the place can get a crowd, so keep your head up.
Then we hit a flat patch mid-week. Wednesday through Friday is small and crossed up, with only a few glassy moments but no real size.
The second week picks up. Monday, July 27 brings a new swell—about 5ft to 6ft from the NNW, with a better period of 9 seconds. It’s marginal through Monday, but Tuesday morning, July 28 is the real standout. La Paloma gets clean conditions under a cross-offshore ENE breeze, swell around 6ft from NNW, energy at 455—solid. Crowds are likely, but the waves will be worth it.
The best session is Wednesday morning, July 29. Swell holds at 6ft from NNW, period hits 11 seconds—proper groundswell. Winds are light and cross-offshore, energy is strong at 716. This will bring clean, lined-up waves with longer lulls between sets. It’s a bit too much for beginners, but if you’re intermediate or better, this is the one. Expect company—La Paloma packs in when it’s good.
After that, it fades. Thursday still has clean 4ft waves in the morning, but by Friday and into the first weekend of August we’re back to tiny 2ft to 3ft NNW swell with cross-shore wind and weak energy. The whole first week of August looks like a write-off.
So bottom line: Mark the 28th and 29th of July. That’s your window. Everything else is a long wait.

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.
