The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
We’re focusing on a single spot, La Palue, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The wait for something truly good might feel long, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. The water temp is sitting at about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there.
The first real chance of a decent session doesn’t come until Saturday, the 12th of September. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are mostly a write-off, with poor conditions and messy winds. Tuesday the 8th through to Friday the 11th is a frustrating stretch of poor surf and cross-onshore winds, so you’re better off doing something else.
Now, Saturday the 12th is where it gets interesting. The morning starts glassy, with a small 3ft swell from the WSW, but the real standout is the afternoon. The wind swings light offshore from the East, and the swell kicks up to 5ft from the West with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 656 (moderate), and the wind is off, making for clean waves. This is the pick of the week. The break is exposed and consistent, but it’s an expert-only spot, so don’t paddle out if you’re not ready. It can get crowded, so expect some company.
Sunday the 13th still has clean surf in the morning, with a 4ft West-northwest swell and offshore winds, but it’s a step down from Saturday. The energy is lower at 297. After that, the surf drops off again. Monday the 14th is small and ordinary, with a 2ft swell.
The next bright spot comes mid-week. Wednesday the 16th of September, the morning session looks clean with a 4ft West-northwest swell and a 12-second period (long period groundswell). The combined energy is 485 (moderate). The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean. This is a good option for the more experienced crew, but the long period might make it a bit straight at the beach, so look for a bank if you can.
After that, it’s more of the same: clean mornings but with worsening cross-shore winds in the afternoons. The standout remains Saturday the 12th afternoon, with a solid 5ft, clean conditions, and a good window. If you can only get out once, make it that.
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. 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.
