The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s happening at La Palue over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is looking pretty grim. There’s a big ol’ gap of nothing worthwhile until we get to the end of the month. The first solid chance of a wave doesn’t roll in until Saturday the 30th of August, and even then, it’s marginal. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a lean spell.
Let’s break it down. We’ve got a bit of a tease on the 22nd of August – a clean morning with a light cross-offshore breeze and a tiny 3ft NW swell, but the energy is weak (144). It’s surfable, but you’d be scratching for a ride. After that, it’s a desert of poor surf and onshore winds right through to the 29th.
Now, the first real standout might just be the morning of the 4th of September. That Friday is showing some promise. The wind is looking like a light cross-offshore from the SE, which will keep things clean. The swell is a solid 6ft from the W with moderate energy (478). It’s a bit of a wait, but it could be worth it. Keep in mind, this is a long-range call, so don’t book the week off just yet.
The other one to watch is the afternoon of the 3rd of September. The swell pushes up to 8ft from the WSW with strong energy (1041), but it’s coming with a moderate cross-onshore wind. That’s going to chop it up a bit. At that size, it’s for experts only, and the wind might spoil the party.
Overall, the water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is about normal for this time of year. No surprises there.
For the first week, don’t bother paddling out. The best bet is to keep an eye on that Friday the 4th of September window. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got on the horizon.
Stay patient, stay salty.

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.

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.
