The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on the cards for La Paloma.
It’s a bit of a slow burner this week, but there’s a beauty brewing for the start of September if you’re patient. The water temperature is sitting right on 68°, which is about average for the time of year, so the old wetsuit is doing its job.
The first few days are pretty average. Friday the 28th kicks off with a 4ft swell from the NW but that cross-off wind isn't doing it any favours sending conditions up to 324 (moderate combined energy). It’s surfable, but it’s nothing to write home about. Saturday and Sunday stay small and messy, with the swell dropping and the wind swinging around. Saturday afternoon actually turns poor with a cross-on breeze. Not a great start.
The first real glimmer comes on Monday the 31st. We’ve got a clean 5ft groundswell from the NW with a 10-second period and glassy conditions in the morning. The combined energy hits 433 (moderate energy). That’s your pick of the near-term. It won't be huge, but it'll be clean and lined up.
The middle of the week goes flat with Tuesday the 1st through to Thursday the 3rd being small and weak, with combined energy dropping below 100. It’s a solid gap of poor surf.
Hold on though. Friday the 4th of September is where things get interesting. The swell fills in with a 3ft set from the NNW but it’s carrying a very long 14-second period, pushing the combined energy to 340. Glassy in the morning. That long period is pure groundswell, so look for a point break set up to handle it. This is promising.
Then, Saturday the 5th of September is the standout. Morning brings a 5ft swell from the NNW with that very long 14-second period again. Offshore and clean conditions with a combined energy reading of 690 (strong energy). This is the best on offer. It’s still a bit of a wait, but this is the session to aim for. It will be a proper, powerful wave.
After that, it fades again. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are marginal with onshore winds creeping back in away from the standouts. The run continues small from Tuesday the 8th onwards, with energy dropping under 100 again. There’s a brief, very small window on Saturday the 12th with flat glass, but we’re talking about tiny, weak waves by then.
So, for the real deal, keep your eyes on Monday the 31st for a clean session, and circle Saturday the 5th of September – that’s the one with the power and the shape.
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.
