The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for La Paloma over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, you’re gonna want to park your boards for the first week. From Wednesday the 15th right through to the 20th, it’s a complete write-off. We’re talking tiny swell, poor conditions, and just nothing to get excited about. That’s a solid six-day gap with zero recommendations. Don’t even bother checking the cam.
Things finally start to stir on Monday the 21st. The morning brings a clean 7ft swell from the NE with an 8-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is getting some punch (446), and the conditions are clean. This is really the first standout of the whole forecast. It’s a little on the bigger side, so better suited to intermediate crew who can handle a bit of power. Keep in mind, the swell direction is NE, which is not the optimum NW direction for this spot, but the clean conditions and the size make it your best bet for a proper session. The crowds here are often present, so expect some company.
After that, the swell backs off a bit on the 22nd and 23rd, and we’re back to poor conditions with cross-onshore wind. Then on Saturday the 25th, we get a real treat. A glassy morning with a tidy 3ft groundswell from the NNW, but the period jumps to a very long 11 seconds. The wave energy is solid (268). This is a proper long-period groundswell, which at a beach setup like La Paloma might break a bit straight, but the glassy conditions and the quality of the water movement will make for some fun, clean lines. The water temperature is sitting about average for the time of year.
The following week looks a bit more on and off. The 28th and 29th offer clean, glassy mornings with 5ft and 4ft swells from the NW, with a 9-10 second period and strong energy (489 and 281). These are promising, but being a week and a half out, keep an eye on the forecasts. The afternoon winds tend to spoil it, so get out early.
Overall, if you’re looking to paddle out, aim for the morning of the 21st or the 25th. The afternoon of the 21st has some size but it’s marginal. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
