The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about La Paloma. I’m Rusty, and I’m looking at the next two weeks. It’s gonna be a test of patience, but there’s a big payoff at the end if you’re willing to wait.
The forecast kicks off with a bit of nothing. Tuesday afternoon, the 28th of July, we’ve got a 3ft NW groundswell with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the north, so it’s as clean as a whistle. The water’s at 68°F, which is normal for the season. The combined energy is moderate (188). But the waves are just… there. Nothing special.
From Wednesday the 29th through the first week of August, it’s a total drought. Swell drops to 1ft to 3ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, onshore. There are a few glassy mornings on the 30th of July, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of August, but the swell is weak and tiny, with combined energy in the 40s to 60s. You’re looking at ankle-snappers. It’s a solid 10-day stretch of flatness.
Then, Sunday the 9th of August, we get a little pulse. A 3ft NW groundswell with a long 12-second period, but the wind is a messy cross-on 15 km/h from the west. It’s choppy. Not great. Monday the 10th stays small and weak.
But Tuesday morning the 11th of August is the real deal. The swell pumps up to 8ft from the NNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy hits a massive 1214 – that’s strong to very strong. The wind is a clean, offshore breeze from the ENE at 10 km/h. This is expert territory only. The waves will be powerful, clean, and big. La Paloma can get crowded, so expect a full lineup. This is your shot.
Wednesday morning the 12th of August still has a 4ft NW groundswell with glassy conditions, but it’s a comedown.
So, bottom line: forget the first 10 days. It’s not worth wetting your wetsuit. But if you’re experienced, mark Tuesday the 11th of August. That’s the day.

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.
