The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what La Paloma has cooking. The next couple weeks are a real mix – some cracker sessions, but also some stretches where you’re better off waxing the board and waiting.
The water’s sitting at about 69°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – you’ll feel it.
The first real chance is on Wednesday July 22nd in the morning. Swell is 5 feet from the NE with a short 7-second interval – it’s not gonna be a thing of beauty, but the wind is light and cross-off, and the wave energy is moderate at 202. It’s clean enough for a fun, average session. The afternoon gets a bit messy.
Thursday the 23rd morning is tiny – only 3 feet and glassy – but honestly, it’s pretty ordinary. Then we hit a real dry spell. From Thursday afternoon all the way through to Monday July 27th morning, it’s just poor or flat. That’s nearly four days of nothing special.
Now Monday the 27th morning is where it turns around. Swell is 5 feet from the NNW with a solid 10-second period. The cross-off wind from the ENE keeps it clean, and the energy is a strong 358. That’s a session for intermediates and up.
But the real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Wednesday July 29th morning. We’ve got 4 feet of groundswell from the NNW, a long 11-second period, and glassy conditions. Energy is 281. That’s the kind of clean, lined-up surf you dream about. Get out there early.
After that, it chops up again. The 30th and 31st are either glassy but small or a bit onshore. Then Saturday August 1st morning brings another good one – 4 feet from the NW, 10-second period, glassy, and energy at 331. Another proper morning.
Sunday August 2nd morning is worth a look too – 2 feet but with a very long 12-second period, and glassy. Energy at 232. This is a long-period groundswell that’ll be clean and fun if you find the right bank.
Monday August 3rd morning gives us another clean session – 4 feet from the NNW, 11-second period, cross-off wind, energy at 305.
From the 4th onward it drops into small, cross-on, poor conditions with barely any energy. So, lock in the 27th, 29th, 1st, or 3rd. The 29th is the pick of the bunch.
La Paloma is a very consistent spot, so these flat patches don’t usually last long. Crowds can be a problem, so beat the rush.
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.
