The Lowdown

Grab your board, but maybe keep the wax soft because it’s a long dry spell ahead for La Palue. We’re looking at a tough run with no proper standouts in the first week and a half – mostly tiny, weak surf with messy wind. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the air’s got that tropical feel. The combined swell energy is weak, with values mostly under 100, barely showing any muscle.

Tuesday 14 July kicks off flat: just 1ft to 1ft of short-period W swell at 11 seconds, but it’s poor – glassy morning but then shifting onshore. Nothing to paddle for. Wednesday 15 July is the same story, tiny waves with a weak 10-second W swell and wind messing it up by the afternoon. Thursday 16 July is worse – 1ft to 1ft with a 7-second period, onshore wind, and choppy. Just leave the board at home.

Friday 17 July finally sees a bump: 3ft to 4ft of short-period NW-NNW swell at only 6 seconds. Combined energy is still weak (67 to 86), but the wind goes clean and cross-off. It’s surfable, but very ordinary – a small window for a grovel board if you’re desperate. Saturday 18 July starts glassy but with 1ft, then the afternoon gets blown out.

Through Sunday 19 July to Tuesday 21 July, it’s the same: tiny, weak, and mostly clean wind but no power. The swell stays under 1ft with short periods. Wednesday 22 July is more of the same – light and clean but flat.

Then Thursday 23 July brings a little more energy: 4ft from the SSW at 7 seconds, combined energy 185 (moderate). Wind is cross-off and clean in the morning, but it’s still short-period and fading by the afternoon. Not a session to drive for. Friday 24 July and Saturday 25 July are back to weak and messy, wind onshore or cross with chop.

Now, the second week gets interesting but rough. Sunday 26 July sees a real swell – 6ft to 6ft from the WNW with a 12-second period (long period groundswell). The combined energy jumps to 923 – that’s strong energy. But the wind is cross-on and moderate to fresh, making it choppy. This is a powerful, chunky wave but only for experts, and the onshore wind will wreck the shape. Too big for beginners (over 5ft), and the long period will make it wall up at this beach break – better suited to a point or reef. Monday 27 July keeps the 6ft to 6ft swell, still cross-on with moderate energy around 749 to 616 – still messy.

Tuesday 28 July peaks: 8ft from the SW at 8 seconds (short period), combined energy 828 to 911. That’s heavy, steep, and powerful – only for experts, and the cross-on wind makes it a washing machine. The SW direction is decent for La Palue (exposed to WSW in the optimum), but this is blown-out and chaotic. By Wednesday 29 July, the swell drops to 5ft to 5ft from the W at 9 seconds, still cross-on or onshore with moderate to fresh wind. The combined energy is still 474 to 594, so there’s power, but it’s not clean.

Honestly, the whole 16-day run is a struggle. With consistent cross-on wind and swell direction fighting the optimum, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – especially on those 8ft days. If you’re a die-hard expert, maybe the Sunday 26 July to Tuesday 28 July window has some power, but don’t expect clean lines. Otherwise, it’s a month for beach walks and watching the horizon.

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.
