Alright, let’s get into it in feet and miles.
The next couple of weeks are pretty quiet for La Palue. We’ve got a small window of surfable waves early on, but honestly, most of the period is a write-off—poor conditions, messy winds, and hardly enough swell to get excited about. The first recommendation kicks off Saturday July 4th, so that’s where we start.
Saturday morning, July 4th, La Palue is seeing a weak 4ft swell from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. Combined swell energy is moderate at 267. The wind is light from the northwest, but it’s cross-onshore—just enough to scuff the surface. Conditions are marginal. By the afternoon, the wind cranks up to 25 km/h from the northwest, and it’s choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out.
Sunday July 5th morning offers a drop in size to 2ft from the west, period 9 seconds, energy down to 154. The wind shifts northeast and goes cross-offshore, so the surface cleans up nicely. It’s small but clean for the early session. That’s the pick of the weekend if you’re desperate for a glide.
Monday July 6th morning brings a glassy start—3ft from the west-northwest, period only 8 seconds, energy 107. It’s rideable but very ordinary. The afternoon gets ruined by a cross-onshore breeze.
Then we hit a long dry stretch. From Tuesday July 7th all the way through to Friday July 17th, the forecast is a mess of poor surf, strong onshore winds, and tiny swell. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday July 8th morning with 2ft and glassy conditions, but the period is 10 seconds and energy is weak at 74. Not enough push to make it worthwhile. The following Thursday July 9th morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but again just 2ft. Only for the most patient surfer on a log.
The standout? There isn’t one that really fires. The best you’ll get is Sunday July 5th morning—small but clean, with that cross-offshore wind from the northeast and an optimum swell direction from the west-southwest. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Crowds are possible at La Palue, so expect some company if you’re out there for those small windows.
Past Saturday July 18th, there’s a tiny spike: a 4ft northwest groundswell with a short 7-second period, but the wind is light and clean Saturday afternoon. Combined energy is moderate at 150. Still, it’s a short-period windswell, so don’t expect much shape.
Overall, a quiet outlook. The swell and wind just don’t line up for more than a few fleeting moments. Keep the board in the car, but don’t rush.

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.
