Alright, let’s get straight into it. The outlook for La Palue is a tough one over the next 16 days. There’s no real standout period, and the surf is going to be pretty ordinary for the most part. It’s mostly small, weak swell and the wind is often messy, so you’ll have to pick your moments carefully.
We start off with a bit of a dry spell. There’s really nothing worth paddling out for on Sunday the 5th of July. The swell is only 2ft from the west, but the wind is all over the place, and the wave energy is weak (154). The water temp is 67°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, so that’s a nice surprise if you’re in the water anyway.
Monday the 6th of July morning is the first chance to get wet. It’s glassy, with a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW and a period of 8 seconds. The wave energy is only moderate (107), so it’s small, but it’s clean. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s surfable. Tuesday morning is also glassy, but the swell drops to 2ft, so it’s really small.
The best chance in the whole 16-day window is probably Wednesday the 8th of July morning. It’s glassy again, with a 2ft swell from the WNW, but the period bumps up to 10 seconds, which gives it a bit more shape. The energy is moderate (100). It’s still small, but it’s the cleanest and most promising session. Thursday morning is also glassy with 3ft, but the period drops back to 9 seconds.
After that, things get messy. From Friday the 10th right through to the end of the second week, the wind is mostly cross-on or cross-off, and the swell stays small. There’s a bit of a pulse on Tuesday the 14th of July, with a 3ft swell from the WNW and a longer 11-second period, giving a moderate energy (282), but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s not clean. That’s a real shame, because that swell has some potential.
The last week is a real struggle. Swell sizes drop down to 2ft or less, and the wind is often strong or onshore. The wave energy plummets to single digits by the 17th of July. It’s a long, quiet run.
So, to be honest, the best on offer is the Wednesday morning glass-off on the 8th of July. It’s clean, small, but it’s the cleanest wave you’ll get. If you can’t make that, the Monday morning glass-off on the 6th is your next best bet. For experts only, as the break is exposed and the swell is small. Stay patient.

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.
