The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way for La Paloma over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a real slow start, and honestly, for the first few days, it’s basically a write-off. Friday the 21st is a no-go with a messy 6ft from the NNW and a cross-on breeze, the energy is moderate (640) but the quality just isn’t there. Saturday and Sunday the 22nd and 23rd are flat and weak, and that pattern just drags on. We’re looking at a solid gap of almost no surfable waves from now until around the 27th of August. It’s one of those stretches where you’d be better off checking the gear than the forecast.
Now, things finally start to turn around as we head into the end of the month. The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Friday morning the 28th of August. We’ve got a clean 4ft from the NW with a light cross-off breeze from the SSW. That’s a proper clean window, and the energy is moderate (304). The morning session is the pick of that day, but the afternoon holds up too with a similar 6ft NW swell. This is the standout window for the whole outlook.
The good run continues into Saturday the 29th of August. The morning is absolute glass – 5 km/h wind from the WSW, no ripples, and a clean 4ft NW swell. That’s a session you’d paddle out for. The energy is moderate (269), and it’s going to be a real treat. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy with a cross-on breeze, so get out early.
Sunday the 30th of August is another glassy morning, with a 3ft from the WNW. Again, the wind is dead calm, making for some silky conditions. The energy is moderate (228). The afternoons get a little lumpy, but those mornings are where it’s at.
After that, the outlook fades out again. The first week of September is mostly back to small, weak, and choppy conditions. There’s a tiny pulse of 5ft NW swell on the 3rd and 4th, but the wind is messy or onshore, ruining the quality. Not really worth getting excited about.
So, the bottom line? The best bet is hands down the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. Clean, glassy, and waist-to-chest high NW swell. Friday the 28th morning is also a solid shout. Get on it, because the rest of the forecast is a slow burn with a long gap at the start and a fade-out at the end.
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.
