Hey folks, Rusty here. Grab a coffee, because the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for us. Honestly, there’s not a whole lot to get excited about in the immediate future. The only spot we’ve got on the radar for the entire 16-day window is La Palue, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. This is a deep-water, exposed spot that’s strictly for experts, so don’t even think about it if you’re not comfortable in heavy, critical waves. The water is sitting at a balmy 66°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you might not need the full 5/4.

The forecast really only starts to show a pulse from Tuesday 7 July afternoon, but honestly, that first one is a write-off: only 2ft of weak, short-period swell (8 seconds) coming from the west, and a cross-onshore wind is just chopping it all up. The energy is low at 63, so it’s a big pass.

We get a bit of a tease on Wednesday 8 July morning. The swell bumps up slightly to 3ft from the WNW, with a solid 10-second period – that’s decent energy for the size. More importantly, the wind goes glassy, dead calm. The combined energy hits 109. If you’re an expert who likes a tiny log or a fun little wave, that’s your window. But it’s short-lived because by the afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore and the conditions turn sour.

Thursday 9 July morning offers a bit of hope with a clean cross-offshore breeze and similar 3ft WNW swell, but the score is low. It just doesn't have the power to get interesting.

Friday 10 July morning is probably the closest thing we have to a standout. You get a clean 3ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period and a light offshore wind out of the east. The combined energy hits 162, which is the highest we see in the whole run. It’s small, but it’s the cleanest, most organised wave of the whole outlook. Again, steep take-offs for experts only.

After that, it’s a long, frustrating run. From Saturday 11 July right through to Wednesday 22 July, we’re looking at small, weak, or poorly-directed swell with very little to recommend. The energy drops right off into the low double digits by mid-month, with periods of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds. There’s a tiny 0.3ft blip from the SW on Monday 13 July morning with a very long 19-second period and fresh offshore wind, but it’s not enough to paddle for. That’s a 10-day gap where you’re better off doing something else. The last entry on Wednesday 22 July afternoon shows a jump to 3ft from the WNW, but period is a short 5 seconds and it’s choppy. Not worth the paddle.

So, bottom line: if you’re an expert and you’re desperate, the Friday 10 July morning session is the only real call. For everyone else, this is a classic blank period for the area. Give it a few days – forecasts can change, but right now, it’s pretty flat.

Stay salty,
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.
