The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what La Palue has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’re in for a bit of a mixed bag. The first few days are a write-off, to be honest. Friday the 11th is a no-go with onshore breezes and poor conditions. Saturday the 12th looks a bit more promising early on. We get a clean, glassy morning with the wind swinging light from the SW and a small 3ft swell from the West. It’s not big, but it’s clean, so you might sneak a few fun ones. The water is sitting at 64.2°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The weekend finishes a little lumpy, but by Monday the 14th morning, there’s a light cross-offshore breeze and a small 3ft west swell with clean lines. It’s small, but it’s the best we’ve got early on.
The real standout in this whole outlook is Friday the 18th morning. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a long 12-second period, packing some serious energy. The wind is dead calm, glassy as can be, and the conditions are set to be very good. That’s a proper session waiting to happen. That WNW direction is exactly what La Palue wants, and with that period, the waves will have some proper shape and punch. It’s going to be the best of the fortnight.
Now, the second week has some promise but comes with more uncertainty. Saturday the 19th morning has a clean, 4ft swell with offshore ESE winds, so that’s another good window if you can’t make the Friday. After that, the wind turns onshore and the quality drops for a few days. There’s a big pulse of energy on Wednesday the 23rd, with a 6ft swell and a very long 14-second period, but a near-gale cross-shore wind will turn the ocean into a washing machine. That one’s for the kites, not for paddle surfing. The pattern stays windy and messy right through to the end of the 16-day run, so don’t hold your breath for clean waves after that Saturday.
Bottom line: Friday the 18th morning is your golden ticket. Get out there.

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).
