Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk La Paloma.
Honestly, it’s a rough spell ahead. For the first week and a half, it’s mostly flat with tiny dribbles and no real juice. From Monday, July 6th through Saturday, July 11th, you’re looking at swell under 3 ft, weak and short period, with the wrong direction for the break. The wave energy is low (under 59). Not worth getting wet.
Sunday, July 12th afternoon finally shows some life. The combined energy jumps to 432, swell hits 4 ft from the NW at around 9 seconds. Winds go glassy. That’s your best bet by far – a proper standout. Water temp is about 65°F, right on average for this time. La Paloma is exposed to NW swell and super consistent, so it’ll be breaking. Crowds are common, but the clean conditions make up for it.
Monday, July 13th is a letdown – energy drops back to weak, wind goes cross-on. A few mornings are glassy but the swell is just too small – 2 ft to 2 ft from the NW, energy under 100. No push.
By the second week, Sunday, July 19th morning brings 5 ft of NNW swell with energy at 376, but the period is only 8 seconds and the wind is cross-shore. That’s more of a kite-surf setup than paddle. Monday, July 20th is similar – 4 ft, same messy story.
Tuesday, July 21st morning has clean cross-off winds from the ENE at 9 mph, but the swell is tiny – 2 ft from the NNW, short period, energy only 63. Good wind, bad waves.
So mark your calendar for Sunday, July 12th afternoon. That’s the only real highlight. The rest is a long, flat gap, which is pretty normal here when the swell direction’s wrong. Forecasts can change, but for now, that’s the truth.
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.
