The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what La Paloma has in store for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a slow burner. There’s a decent gap of flat or poor days before we see anything worthwhile. The first real chance is on the morning of Friday, August 28th, but conditions are iffy. The clear winner, the one to get excited about, is the morning of Saturday, September 5th.
Friday, August 21st starts with a 1.7m swell from the NNW, 10-second period, and combined energy at 578 (moderate). Wind is cross-on from the west at 10 km/h, so it’s messy. Water temp is about average. Afternoon has 1.8m but still cross-on. Both sessions are marginal.
Saturday, August 22nd drops – morning 1.1m from NNW, 9-second period, energy 169, cross-off wind from the ENE at 15 km/h (clean but small). Afternoon 1.0m, 8-second period, energy 123. Tiny.
Sunday, August 23rd morning is 0.7m from NNE, 6-second period, energy 67 – poor. Afternoon gets glassy with 1.1m from NE, but short period and ordinary.
Monday, August 24th morning 0.9m, afternoon 0.8m, both small with low energy. Afternoon goes glassy but weak.
Tuesday, August 25th flat – 0.3m all day. Forget it.
Wednesday, August 26th stays tiny – 0.4m to 0.7m, poor.
Thursday, August 27th morning 1.3m from NW, 10-second period, energy 294, but cross wind at 20 km/h makes it choppy. Afternoon 1.4m, 11-second period, energy 449, cross-on and choppy. Poor.
Friday, August 28th morning brings 2.2m from NW, 11-second period, energy strong at 1134. Wind is cross from the SW at 15 km/h, so gentle cross-shore chop. This swell is over 1.5m – not for beginners – and the 11-second period is proper groundswell. At a beach break, that long period might make it break a bit straight, but it’s got power. Afternoon drops to 1.9m and goes onshore.
Saturday, August 29th morning 1.2m, 9 seconds, energy 235, cross wind. Afternoon 1.3m, cross-on. Not worth it.
Sunday, August 30th morning goes glassy with 1.3m from NNW, 10-second period, energy 290. Expect good surf – clean and smooth. Afternoon 1.1m, light cross-on.
Monday, August 31st morning 1.2m, cross wind, poor. Afternoon rain, onshore wind.
Tuesday, September 1st morning 0.8m, glassy, 8-second period, energy 87. Ordinary.
Wednesday, September 2nd morning 0.9m, cross-off from ENE, clean but small. Afternoon 1.1m, cross-off.
Thursday, September 3rd morning glassy and 0.8m.
Friday, September 4th morning 0.9m from NW, 10-second period, glassy.
Now the standout: Saturday, September 5th morning. Swell is 1.3m from NNW, period jumps to a very long 13 seconds – that’s top-tier groundswell, with lots of energy at 611. Wind is glassy from NNE at 5 km/h. Expect very good surf conditions. That long period at a beach break might make it a bit straight, but with glassy wind and clean lines, this is the session. It’s not huge, so it’s friendly for intermediates, but the quality will be there.
So, if you’ve got patience, wait for that Saturday the 5th morning. The 28th morning has size but a bit more chop. The long-range stuff looks promising but less certain – keep your fingers crossed.
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.
