The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, the pattern starts off pretty flat. We’ve got a few days of nothing much to get excited about, with a few small, weak swells coming through but the conditions are just not coming together. You'll be waiting until Sunday the 27th of July for the first real standout.
The wait is over on Monday morning, the 27th of July. That's the pick of the bunch. La Paloma is looking at a solid 6 ft swell from the NNW. The wind is a clean offshore from the ENE, and the period is a solid 10 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The combined energy is pumping at 573, so there's plenty of power in the water. This is a morning session you don't want to miss. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can stay out a bit longer.
After that, things settle down again. Tuesday the 28th has a smaller, weaker 4 ft swell with cross-shore winds, and the energy drops right back to 264. Tuesday morning is marginal, but the afternoons are not worth the paddle.
We get another window on Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning is looking good with a 4 ft NW swell and glassy conditions. The wind is dead calm from the SW, and the energy is a solid 243. The afternoon looks a bit average with an onshore ESE wind switching it off, but that morning session is a winner.
The second week is a bit of a write-off. There's a few small, weak swells, but the wind is all over the place and the period is shorter. It's a pretty quiet run for the rest of the window.
So, for the best surf, you're looking at Monday morning the 27th of July. Get out there for the 6 ft groundswell.
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.
