The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for La Palue over the next couple of weeks.
It’s been a bit of a desert lately, with no real surf to get excited about for the first few days. We’re looking at a dry spell until Monday, September 14th, so just a heads up – don’t bother paddling out before then. The wait is worth it though.
Monday morning, September 14th, is where we finally get something. You’ve got a clean, glassy 3ft swell rolling in from the west with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 235 and the water temp is sitting at a comfortable 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year. It’s an exposed spot, so this is a nice, mellow start for any level, but the crowds are often around here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
Now, the real standout is looking like Monday, September 21st. This is the one to circle. Early doors, the wind is swinging out of the east-northeast at 3 mph and going offshore. You’ve got a clean 6ft groundswell from the west-northwest with a long 13-second period. The combined energy is a solid 1283 – that’s strong, powerful juice. This is expert territory for sure, but it’s going to be firing. For the experts, that’s your window.
Another one to keep an eye on is the afternoon of Friday, September 25th. The wind goes clean offshore from the east at 9 mph, and the swell is a solid 6ft from the west-northwest with a 14-second period. The energy is strong at 1306. Conditions will be good for experienced surfers. That long period means it might stand up a bit straight in the beach break, but on a good bank, it’ll be rippable.
Don’t get too amped for the very end though. Around Sunday, September 27th, the swell spikes to 10ft, but that’s just too much for this break. The energy is huge at 1788, but the call is it’s too big and onshore in the afternoon. That’s for the big-wave crew or maybe the kites, not a paddle session.
For the rest of the second week, expect smaller, cleaner windows but nothing that screams standout. Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd have clean shoulders, but it’s more longboard or funboard territory.
Overall, the best bet is the morning of Monday, September 21st. Set your alarm.
