The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the forecast for La Palue. This is a classic, exposed expert-only slab that needs a very specific window to work, and honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a tough watch. The swell is there, but the wind is just relentless.

The forecast opens with nothing on Saturday the 25th. Tiny, wind-battered junk. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a weak 35, with a 2ft, 5-second windswell from the north-northwest. It’s a write-off.

Sunday the 26th sees a pulse of energy come through. The combined swell energy jumps to 259 with a 5ft west-northwest swell at 7 seconds, but a moderate west-northwest breeze is on it, making it messy. Not rideable.

Monday the 27th morning is the only real glimmer in the whole run. The combined energy climbs to 553, and we get a 6ft west-northwest groundswell with a 10-second period. That’s a proper, powerful swell. But the wind is still cross-onshore out of the west-northwest at 6 mph. The data says "light cross-onshore with small wind ripples" and a marginal score—it’s frustrating because the power is there, but the surface is going to be a bit lumpy. This is the best on offer, but it’s not clean. The afternoon is a right-off with a fresh breeze.

Then from Tuesday the 28th onwards, it’s a real struggle. The wind does finally go offshore on Tuesday morning—a glassy 3 mph from the east—but the swell has dropped to just 3ft from the west-northwest, with combined energy at 188. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That’s the only morning with clean, offshore conditions in the whole window.

The rest of the run is a tale of small, weak swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s another pulse on the 3rd of August, with a 4ft swell from the west-southwest, but the wind is a strong cross-off from the north-northeast at 19 mph—that’s clean, but it’s a kiter’s breeze, not a surfer’s wave. The swell is too short period and the wind is too strong for a paddle.

Honestly, mate, this is a grim stretch. If you’re a patient soul with a gun, Monday the 27th morning has the most power, but don’t expect perfection. The 16-day window is a tough one for La Palue. The water temp is a normal 65°, about average for the time of year. I’ll be watching the charts, but it’s a quiet spell.

Rusty.

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.
