The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. There’s a long stretch of poor conditions and small, messy swell, so don’t get your hopes up for anything decent until we get past the end of July. The first real standout is a long way off, but it’s a beauty.

We’re starting with Friday morning, 24 July, at La Palue. There’s a tiny 0.7ft swell from the west with a weak 8-second period, and only 6 units of combined swell energy. The wind is light offshore from the east-northeast, so it’s clean, but there’s just no wave to ride. The water is sitting at 65°, which is about normal for this time of year. The afternoon gets worse – a cross-shore northerly wind kicks up to 19 mph, and the swell is a pathetic 2ft with a 3-second period. Total washout.

Saturday (25 July) and Sunday (26 July) are more of the same: cross-onshore winds and small, lumpy, weak swell. The swell picks up a bit on Sunday morning to 5ft from the west-northwest, but with a strong onshore wind at 19 mph, it’s just a mess. The combined energy hits 228 (moderate), but the wind ruins it.

Monday 27 July morning has a little hope – 5ft from the west-northwest with a 10-second period, giving 470 units of moderate energy, and the wind is light and offshore from the west-southwest. The comment says it’s marginal, but I’d call it a low-quality, wind-affected possibility. The afternoon goes to crap again.

Tuesday 28 July morning is the first real glimmer: glassy conditions with a 3ft west-northwest swell, 9-second period, and 184 units of energy. It’s clean, but only 3ft – so it’s a small, ordinary day. The rest of the week stays small and mostly onshore or choppy.

Now, here’s the standout. On the morning of Saturday, 1 August – that’s a week from Saturday – La Palue comes alive. We’re looking at a solid 7ft swell from the west, with a nice long 12-second period, and a massive 1256 units of combined swell energy (strong to very strong). The wind is glassy from the southwest, just 3 mph. This is excellent surf, but it’s for experienced surfers only – 7ft is big, and with that long period, watch out for the power. The break is a beach setup, so a long-period west swell can be a bit straight, but the glassy conditions and size make it the best session on offer. Crowds are often a thing here, but with this quality, expect company.

The Saturday afternoon sees the wind shift to a cross-shore northerly at 12 mph, so the morning is the window.

Sunday 2 August morning drops to 5ft with a cross-onshore wind, and the next week is a frustrating mix of onshore winds and building but messy swell. There’s a pulse of 6ft on Tuesday 4 August morning, but with a strong cross-onshore wind, it’s choppy and lumpy. Not worth it.

Overall, the first 7 days are a write-off. The real gem is the morning of Saturday, 1 August. If you’re an expert, get on it. For everyone else, keep waiting.

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.
