The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for La Palue over the next couple of weeks.
First things first, the water temperature is sitting at 66°F, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
This stretch is a bit of a mixed bag. We start off with a bit of a dud on Monday the 27th. The swell is there, around 6ft from the WNW, with a solid 10-second period and a combined energy of 565, but that wind is blowing NW at 9 mph, making it a messy cross-onshore. It's a no-go for a proper session, and the afternoon gets worse with a stronger 16 mph wind. Tuesday the 28th is where we get our first real standout. Tuesday morning, we've got a clean 4ft swell from the WNW, but the magic is the wind: glassy, coming from the NE at just 3 mph. The combined energy is a moderate 226, and for an expert spot like this, that glassy clean surface makes all the difference. That is the call for the whole period if you can get out there. The afternoon on Tuesday gets chopped up by an onshore wind, so don't sleep on that morning session.
After that, it gets quiet. From Wednesday the 29th all the way through to Saturday the 8th of August, it's a real flat spell with onshore or cross-offshore winds ruining any small bump that shows up. There are some tiny 2ft to 3ft waves in there, but the wind is just too messy.
Now, we look at the end of the forecast window. The 8th, 9th, and 10th of August see a big pulse of swell coming back. The 9th of August (Sunday) morning has a strong 6ft swell from the W, period of 9 seconds, giving a combined energy of 632. The wind is light at 6 mph from the W, which is onshore, so conditions are going to be a bit raw and bumpy. It's a lot of power, and for an expert break like La Palue, it's got size on its side. The 10th of August (Monday) is the same story: 6ft to 6ft swells but with a stronger cross-onshore wind, so it'll be lumpy. This late swell is promising, but the onshore wind is a real caveat, making it a wild session for the experienced guys only.
So, the standout is without a doubt Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. Grab that glassy window. The rest of the time, you’re waiting and hoping the wind plays ball on that bigger swell in the second week.
Rusty.
