The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the coming weeks.
Right now, things are looking a bit flat and messy, but there's some serious promise if you're patient.
The first surf of note is on Saturday the 12th of September. It's small, just about 3ft with a weak 226 combined energy, and the wind is light cross-shore. It’s not exactly firing, but it’s something to get wet on.
The real story starts to build later. Sunday the 13th sees the swell pushing up to 6ft from the WNW, with a moderate 740 combined energy, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it's going to be bumpy. That clean, peeling wall you’re after isn’t here yet.
We’ve got a run of poor conditions through the middle of the week. The wind keeps swinging onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is too weak or too chopped up to get excited about.
Now, hold onto your board. The standout is shaping up for Monday the 21st of September. Early morning we’ve got a solid 7ft groundswell from the WNW with a very long period of 12 seconds and a healthy 1069 combined energy. The wind is glassy—dead calm—from the NE. This is prime La Palue stuff. It’s clean, powerful, and that size is serious. It’s only for experts though; over 8ft is expert territory, and this is close. It will be a big, clean, grinding wall. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
The following days drop back off pretty quick. Tuesday the 22nd morning has a clean 4ft swell from the WNW with light cross-offshore wind, good for a few fun ones if you’re around, but it’s a shadow of Monday's glory.
The water temp is around 64°, which is about average for this time of year.
So, to sum it up: The first week is mostly a write-off. Sunday the 13th and Wednesday the 16th have some size but with bad wind. The absolute best is Monday the 21st of September morning. Don’t miss that glassy, 7ft WNW swell. Everything after that is small again until the very end of the period where the swell tries to pick back up with a long period on the 27th, but the wind looks suspect. Get your plans set for that Monday.
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.

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.
