The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for us.
Right now, the water’s a touch warmer than normal at 69°, which is always nice when you’re sitting out there waiting. But the honest truth is, we’ve got a long, dry spell ahead. Don’t get your hopes up for the first week of August because it’s looking pretty flat and grim. The first few days are a total write-off with tiny, weak swell and rubbish conditions. We’re talking a long gap of nothing worthwhile until we finally get a glimmer of hope.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on Thursday the 6th of August. That’s the standout in this whole outlook. La Paloma will see a clean 4ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is a nice cross-offshore from the ENE, keeping things clean. The combined energy hits a moderate 232, so there’s some push there. It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’ve got by a long shot. Thursday morning and afternoon both look good for a session.
After that, we drop right back into the doldrums. Friday the 7th is barely surfable, and then we’ve got another long stretch of tiny, choppy, or onshore junk right through to the middle of the month. Nothing really worth chasing.
Now, if you’ve got some patience, the second week of August does offer a promising little window. Look ahead to Monday the 17th of August. The morning glass-off is the key here. La Paloma will have a solid 4ft swell from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a longer period groundswell, which means more energy and better shape. The combined energy jumps right up to a strong 383! Winds are light, glassy from the NNE. This is one for the early birds, and it’s a real highlight, but remember, it’s a long-range call so things can shift. The afternoon gets a bit crossed up, so get it while it’s clean.
So, there you have it. A long quiet period, one decent day on the 6th, and then a promising Monday morning on the 17th. Keep your eyes on that 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.
