Alright, let’s talk about La Palue. The next 16 days are mostly a dud – small, weak swell and a lot of choppy, cross‑shore junk. The water is weirdly warm right now, sitting at 66.7°F on Tuesday morning, a good 4.9°F above normal for this time of year. That’s a standout in itself. But for surf, we’ve only got a handful of windows that are even worth paddling out for, and they’re all small. The best of the bunch is Wednesday morning, July 8. That’s the one to circle.
Tuesday morning, July 7, is glassy with a tiny 2ft from the WNW, period 9 seconds, and only 62 units of energy – weak. It’s surfable, but barely. Then Tuesday afternoon the wind swings NW and picks up, ruining it. Wednesday morning, July 8, is the real highlight: dead calm, glassy conditions, swell 2.6ft from the WNW at 10 seconds, pushing 109 units of energy – moderate. That’s clean, small, and the best shape you’ll see. Wednesday afternoon goes cross and choppy. Thursday, July 9, has a clean cross‑off in the morning but the swell is still only 3ft, energy 132 – again moderate, but the wind is stronger (9 mph) and it’s not as clean as Wednesday. Friday morning, July 10, is another clean cross‑off with 3ft swell from the WNW, period 9 seconds, energy 151 – the highest energy of the week, but still moderate. Good if you’re desperate, but not a standout.
After Friday, it drops off hard. Saturday and Sunday, July 11–12, have tiny 1.3–1ft waves and strong cross‑off winds, then from Monday, July 13, onward it’s all under 1.5ft with onshore or cross‑ons

Information about the La Palue Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Palue provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Palue can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Palue 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 Palue) 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 Palue 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.
