The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, let’s talk about what’s on offer for La Paloma.
We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag to start. The first standout is Thursday morning, the 20th of August. The swell is coming in from the northwest at 4ft, with a period of 10 seconds and the combined energy sitting at a moderate 384. The wind is glassy out of the northwest, so the waves will be clean and inviting. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. This is your best chance in the early going.
Thursday afternoon keeps the swell going at 5ft, but the wind shifts onshore, cutting the quality. Friday through Saturday we see the swell drop a bit, and the wind is more cross or cross-onshore, making it harder to find a good clean line. The combined energy drops to 200 on Saturday morning, and the swell is only 4ft, but the wind goes cross-off, so it’s not a total write-off—just ordinary.
Sunday and Monday are small and weak, with the swell dropping to 2ft and the combined energy falling to 68 or less. The wind is glassy, so it’s flat but clean. Not worth paddling out for.
Then we get a real gap. From Tuesday the 25th through to Sunday the 30th of August, the surf is poor. The swell tries to pick up again on the 27th with 5ft and 7ft, but the wind is cross or cross-on, and the combined energy gets into the moderate range (461 to 723), but the quality is just not there. It’s a long stretch of onshore or cross-shore chop, and the wave state is messy. This is more kite-surfing territory than clean paddle surfing.
On Monday the 31st of August, we get a glimmer. The morning is glassy again, with a 5ft northwest swell at 10 seconds and combined energy of 368. The wind is calm, so it’s clean. Not a standout, but a solid option if you’re keen.
But the real standout—the one to circle on your calendar—is the morning of the 2nd of September. The swell is 6ft from the northwest, with a period of 10 seconds and combined energy of 585. The wind is glassy, the sky is partly cloudy, and the water temp is still about average. This is the best wave of the whole run. The swell is big enough to get you moving but not out of control, and it’s clean, clean, clean. The 3rd and 4th also look promising, with good swell and glassy conditions, but that 2nd of September morning is the one.
So, if you’re picking your window, Thursday morning the 20th of August and the 2nd of September are your best bets. The rest is either small, windy, or both. Get out there when it’s clean and you’ll find some fun.

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.
