Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m going to level with you – this is a tough stretch. We’ve got a real lean spell coming up, and a whole lot of onshore junk. The first few days are small, weak, and the wind is just not our friend. We’re looking at a long gap of really poor conditions before we see any real energy again.
The best bet, and the only real standout in this whole forecast, is shaping up to be La Palue on the morning of Saturday, July 12th. It’s an expert-only wave for a reason, and that morning we’ve got a clean 1.6 ft of swell from the WNW with a moderate offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean and lined up. The energy is weak though, only pushing 53 (moderate wave energy), but for a wave that’s usually this fickle, that’s a decent little window. The water is running about 68.7°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit might be a bit thinner.
Before that, Saturday the 11th morning has a touch more size at 3 ft from the WNW, but the cross-off wind makes it a bit ordinary. The combined energy is 140 (moderate wave energy), but it’s just not clean enough to get excited about. Sunday the 13th morning is glassy, but the swell drops right off to 0.7 ft, so it’s barely a ripple.
After that first weekend, it’s a real desert. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell stays tiny and weak for days. We’re talking nothing worth paddling out for from Monday the 14th right through to the end of the third week of July. There’s a pulse of moderate energy around the 21st and 22nd, with the energy climbing to 179 and then 211 (moderate to strong wave energy), but the wind is straight onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is a messy, short-period wind swell. It’s going to be choppy and blown out – honestly, that setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
So, here’s the bottom line: if you’re an expert and you’re desperate, the morning of Saturday the 12th at La Palue is your only real window. Otherwise, maybe take the board out of the car and give it a rest. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.

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.
