The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for La Paloma over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, things are pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of weak, small waves and mostly average conditions through the end of this week and into the start of next week. From Tuesday the 14th to Sunday the 19th of July, the surf is just too small and messy to get excited about – tiny swells, mostly under 1 ft, with short periods and cross-onshore winds not helping. You’re looking at a real lull.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 20th of July. The morning is where it’s at. We’ll see a pulse of 5 ft from the NE, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 6 mph. The wave energy jumps to moderate (241) and the wind is straight offshore, so it’ll be clean. This is the standout of the whole forecast. It’s a beach break setup, so that 5 ft is a fun size for intermediates, but it’s not too big for most. The afternoon stays clean but the swell bumps up a touch to 6 ft, though the wind picks up to 12 mph, so go early.
Tuesday the 21st of July still has some size, but the quality drops a bit. You’ll find 4 ft in the morning and 6 ft in the afternoon, both from the NNE/NE, and the wind stays cross-offshore. The wave energy is moderate (113-260), but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. Still, it’s your best backup option after Monday.
After that, from Wednesday the 22nd through to the end of the month, it’s back to small, weak surf with poor conditions. The only exception might be the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July, where we see 3 ft from the NW and glassy conditions. That’s a long way out though, so keep an eye on it.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
So, bottom line: if you’ve got a flexible schedule, make the call for Monday the 20th of July morning. That’s the best shot we’ve got. The rest of the fortnight is a write-off. Don’t hold your breath.
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.
