The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s happening at La Paloma. The early part of the period is pretty dead, but things start waking up.
Friday and Saturday the 11th and 12th are basically flat. Tiny swell around 0.6m to 0.8m, lousy cross-shore winds, and next to no energy. Don’t waste your gas. The first real action comes Sunday morning the 13th. Swell hits 1.3m from the NNW, period 12 seconds, and the wind goes cross-offshore. The water cleans up, and the energy jumps to 454. That’s a good, clean morning. The standout in the first week is Sunday morning through Monday morning. Sunday morning has 1.3m NNW, 12-second period, and offshores. Monday morning the 14th is even cleaner – glassy conditions with 0.9m NNW at 11 seconds, energy at 249. That’s a beautiful, clean day.
Tuesday the 15th goes flat and onshore. Skip it. Wednesday the 16th is marginal with a short-period 1.4m swell and bumpy wind. Thursday the 17th morning is a proper standout: 1.5m NNW at 10 seconds, cross-offshore breeze, energy at 502. That’s a really solid session.
Moving into the second week, the swell keeps rolling. Friday the 18th morning is glassy with 0.9m NW – clean but small. Saturday the 19th morning is a gem: glassy, 1.2m from the NNW, period 13 seconds, energy at 584. That’s a beautiful groundswell. The best of the whole period? Sunday morning the 20th of September. 1.7m NNW, 12 seconds, cross-offshore winds, and 876 energy. That’s big, clean, and punchy, perfect for intermediates. Monday the 21st morning is good but a little wind-affected. Then Tuesday the 22nd morning brings a tiny but incredibly long 0.7m swell from the NNW with an 18-second period, and energy at 605. That’s a super glassy groundswell – clean lines but small. Wednesday the 23rd morning has 1.7m NNW, 12 seconds, cross-offshore, 790 energy – solid again. Thursday the 24th morning is glassy with 1.7m NNW, 11 seconds, and 735 energy – pristine. The biggest of the run comes Thursday afternoon the 24th: 2.5m NNW, 13 seconds, and 3745 energy – that’s serious, only for experts. Friday the 25th morning is glassy with 1.9m NNW, 12 seconds, 1007 energy – excellent for experienced surfers. Then Saturday the 26th morning wraps it up, glassy and calm, with 1.1m NW.
Water temp’s about average for this time of year. Crowds at La Paloma can be heavy when it’s good, so for those Sunday sessions, expect company.
Final call: get out for Sunday morning the 13th, but if you can only do one, make it Sunday the 20th morning. That’s your session.

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.
