The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks around here. To be honest, it’s a bit of a slow start. We’ve got a few tiny little waves from Sunday right through to the end of the month, but the quality just isn’t there – the winds are messy and the swell is small and weak. We’re looking at a blank run of pretty ordinary conditions until we finally see something worth getting out of bed for.
The first real flicker of hope comes on the morning of Friday the 28th of August. La Paloma wakes up to a solid 8ft swell from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, carrying some serious grunt – you can see that in the combined wave energy, which hits 1668 (strong to very strong). Now, this size is definitely for experienced surfers only; it’s going to be a handful. It also looks a bit on the cross-shore side. The afternoon gets messy with cross-onshore wind and a big drop in quality, so the morning window is the one to target.
But the standout, the real reason to get excited, is the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. The swell is still a punchy 5ft from the NW, period of 9 seconds, with a combined energy of 365 (moderate). The real magic is the wind: glassy. Smooth as a lake. That’s as good as it gets for clean waves. This is the best looking session in the whole forecast. It’s still a decent-sized swell so not for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the one. The afternoon gets a bit more rippled, so make the most of the morning.
The rest of the first week of September is back to tiny, weak, and mostly blown-out conditions. There’s another small pulse on the morning of Friday the 4th of September – 2ft from the NW with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 96 (weak) – which is surfable but nothing to write home about. It’s just a little window of calm.
As for the water, it’s sitting at about 68°F at the start, which is pretty normal for the time of year with that small positive anomaly. Nothing too wild.
So, if you’re keen, keep your eyes on that Saturday the 29th of August morning session. That’s the only true standout in the whole run. The rest is either flat, choppy or too big and messy for a good time.

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.
