The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We've got a solid start to the outlook with a moderate, clean swell hitting La Paloma. The water is sitting at 67°, which is bang on average for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.
The real standout is Monday morning, the 27th of July. We’re looking at a 5ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 10 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 6 mph. That’s clean, organized surf with moderate energy (480). This is the pick of the first few days. The break is exposed and very consistent, so expect waves, but it can get crowded.
Tuesday morning, the 28th, is almost as good – the swell drops to 4ft from the NNW, but the wind goes glassy from the NE at just 3 mph. That’s a magic window for a longboard or a funboard. The energy drops to moderate (240), but the conditions will be pristine.
From Wednesday the 29th onward, things take a nosedive. The swell drops below 3ft and the period shortens. We’re looking at a few days of small, weak waves with onshore or cross-shore winds. Conditions are pretty ordinary. There’s a gap of poor surf that lasts through the end of July and into the first week of August.
We get a little blip on Saturday the 8th of August – a new pulse of 3ft swell from the NNW with a long 10-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore in the afternoon. The morning is glassy though, so for a sneaky dawn session there might be something worth a look, with moderate energy (199).
Now, for the next true standout, we’re looking at Sunday the 9th of August. The morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the NW, period 10 seconds, and glassy offshore winds from the NW. The energy is strong (432). This is the best on offer in the whole forecast. It’s pushing into intermediate territory, but the conditions will be perfect. Just be aware that La Paloma can get crowded when it's good.
The swell hangs around through Monday and Tuesday the 10th and 11th, but the wind turns onshore and messy, so the quality drops away. The long-range window on the 7th of August shows a tiny, weak 1ft groundswell from the NNW with a very long period of 13 seconds, but it’s so small it’s barely worth mentioning. The energy is weak (57).
So, the takeaway? Get out there Monday morning the 27th of July, and definitely mark your calendar for Sunday morning the 9th of August. That’s the one.
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.
