The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for La Paloma over the next couple of weeks.
The first couple of days are pretty much a write-off, with hardly any energy in the water. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The real action kicks off on the morning of Sunday, September 6th, when things start to get interesting.
The standout session looks like Sunday the 6th afternoon. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell rolling in from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a nice groundswell, bringing some real punch. The combined energy is a powerful 604 (kW/m), which is strong. What makes it special is the glassy conditions – the wind is dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. That’s a rare treat. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The morning of that same Sunday is also a good shout, with a 4ft NNW swell, an 11-second period, and 388 (kW/m) energy. Again, glassy conditions with calm winds. It’s a touch smaller, but still very clean.
Monday the 7th morning is another one to watch, with 3ft from the NW and a 12-second period (265 kW/m). The wind is light and offshore, so the waves will be clean and lined up, but it’s a smaller swell.
After that, things get a bit mixed. The mid-week has some surfable waves, but the winds start to mess things up, turning cross or cross-onshore. There’s a pulse of energy on the 9th, but the quality isn’t there.
If you’re planning ahead, keep an eye on Tuesday the 15th morning. It’s a long way out, so I’m not locking it in, but the models show a 3ft NNW swell with a very long 12-second period (322 kW/m) and glassy conditions. That could be a tidy little session if it holds.
La Paloma is a very consistent spot, so even when it’s not pumping, there’s usually something to sit on. This run has a few flat days at the start, but it picks up nicely. The pick of the bunch is definitely Sunday the 6th.
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.
