The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board. It's Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got coming up.
First up, it's been pretty flat and messy. The first real chance of anything half-decent doesn't show until Saturday the 8th. Before that, it's a write-off—small, weak, and mostly blown out. That's a solid gap of almost a week with nothing to get excited about.
The best bet in the whole 16-day window is shaping up for Saturday the 15th. We're looking at La Palue. The morning is where it's at. The swell is tiny, just a 2 ft pulse from the W, but the magic is in the wind. It's a flat, glassy calm. That makes everything count. The wave energy is low, sitting at 51, so it's not gonna have any punch, but it will be clean as a whistle. Because it's small and clean, it'll be okay for most abilities, but it's not for beginners expecting a push. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so a little bit of spring in the ocean.
The other session that might be worth a look is way back on Saturday the 8th. The morning will have tiny 2 ft waves from the NW with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The energy is weak, reading 66, but it should be clean. It's not a standout by any means, just the first hint of something surfable after a long flat spell.
The problem is the wind. Most of the period, La Palue gets hammered by onshore and cross-onshore breezes, especially in the afternoons. By the time the swell bumps up a bit mid-week around the 5th and 6th, with 4 ft to 4 ft from the WSW and NW, the wind is howling from the NW, making it a choppy mess. That kind of wind and swell combo at a beach setup like La Palue makes it look more interesting for kiteboarding than paddle surfing.
The periods are short too—mostly 6 to 8 seconds—which means weak, bumpy, close together waves. There's just no real grunt in any of these swells until that glassy window.
So, be patient. The Saturday the 15th glass-off is your only real highlight. Everything else is a scratchy toss-up at best.
Rusty.
