The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for La Paloma.
It’s a pretty flat spell on the whole, I gotta be honest. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 68°, so that’s a nice little bonus if you’re paddling out in a spring suit. But the surf? It’s gonna be a real waiting game. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions stretching right through the first week and into the second. There’s nothing really worth paddling out for until later on.
The first real glimmer of anything surfable comes on Thursday morning, August 6th. A little 2ft NW swell rolls in with a light cross-off breeze from the ENE, keeping things clean. The energy is weak though, coming in at only 86. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Friday morning, August 7th, is a similar story with another 2ft NW pulse, clean with that cross-off wind, but again, it’s nothing to get excited about.
Then we hit a bit of a dry spell again. Sunday morning, August 9th, offers a 2ft NW swell with clean conditions, but it’s still tiny. Tuesday morning, August 11th, brings a 2ft NNW swell, still clean, but the energy is still weak at 67. The pattern is the same: small, clean, but not worth a special trip.
The most interesting window, and I mean the only one with a bit of size, is around Thursday, August 13th and Friday, August 14th. The swell bumps up to 3ft to 4ft from the N and NNE, pushing the energy into moderate territory (103 to 149). But here’s the problem: the wind swings onshore from the NW. It’s a poor setup for paddling. The waves will be there, but they’ll be choppy and messy. For a beach break setup like La Paloma, this is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re an expert and just want some push, you might get a few, but it’s not going to be clean.
So to sum it up: the best true surf is on the Thursday 6th and Friday 7th mornings, but they’re both tiny. There’s no standout session in this forecast. It’s a quiet period, but forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
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.
