The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at La Paloma are a real bummer for surfers. We’ve got a long, flat stretch ahead with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The whole forecast is a series of tiny, weak swells that just don’t have the juice.
The water is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only interesting thing going on.
The first real chance to even get wet doesn’t come until Thursday, August 6th, in the morning. That’s a solid week away. We’re looking at a tiny 2 ft. swell from the NW with a period of 7 seconds – that’s short-period, weak windswell. The combined energy is a paltry 53 (low energy), but the wind is glassy with a light NE breeze. It’s clean, but the waves are just “surfable” at best, not good. After that, it’s right back to flat, poor conditions.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Sunday morning, August 9th, with another glassy morning and a 1 ft. NW swell. Again, it’s clean enough to have a splash, but the energy is only 54 (low) and the waves are ordinary. The period is a bit better at 9 seconds, but it’s still just a ripple.
You’ll have to wait until Wednesday, August 12th, for another crack. Morning glass again, with a 1 ft. NNW swell and 8-second period. Combined energy is 54 (weak). The conditions are clean, but the waves are poor.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. No day with proper swell, decent wind, and any size. The whole 16-day run is a write-off for any decent surfing. If you absolutely have to get in the water, the glassy mornings on August 6th, 9th, or 12th are your best bet for a clean, small, and very ordinary session. For proper waves, you’re looking at a long wait.
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.
