The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ at La Paloma.
Truth is, the next couple weeks are pretty darn slow. There’s a long gap from now until the first real chance to get wet, which doesn’t shape up until Monday morning, August 10th. Up until then, it’s a whole lot of tiny, weak surf and “poor” conditions. The water temp is about 68°, right around normal for this time of year.
Let’s look at the timeline. The first few days have swell heights between 1 and 2 feet, with combined energies under 85 (weak). Thursday morning July 30th offers a glassy surface on a 2-foot NW swell with an 8-second period – clean but tiny. Friday and Saturday are the same: weak and ordinary.
The first week of August is flat. Sunday morning the 2nd is dead calm, glassy, with a 2-foot windswell from the NE and a period of only 5 seconds – you could float, but you wouldn’t surf it. Monday the 3rd has a 1-foot WNW swell, light cross-shore wind, and energy under 35 – that’s barely a bump.
The best window comes Tuesday morning, August 11th. Swell pushes to 3 feet from the N, with a 6-second period and combined energy of 147 (moderate). The morning is glassy with a light NW wind. The swell direction is N, and La Paloma works best on NW, so it’s close enough. Those clean, glassy conditions could actually make it fun for an intermediate surfer. It’s still short period, so don’t expect much grunt.
Wednesday the 12th brings the biggest swell of the period – 5 feet from the N, 8-second period, energy at 258 (moderate). But the wind turns cross-onshore from the NNW in the afternoon, and the morning is onshore, so it’ll be lumpy and messy. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it fades back to 2-foot leftovers with some glassy moments, but nothing worth writing home about. The clear standout is the morning of Tuesday, August 11th – that 3-foot N swell with glassy winds is your best bet in a two-week stretch that’s otherwise a quiet one.
La Paloma is usually a steady spot, so a run this flat is uncommon. Forecasts can change, so keep your eyes peeled.
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.
