The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at La Palue over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, with some rough, onshore junk to sit out. But hang tight, because the real deal is a solid, clean groundswell that shows up on the morning of the 5th of September. That’s your standout moment. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year – nothing to worry about there.
The standout is definitely the Saturday morning session, September 5th. La Palue is an exposed, expert-only spot, and it will be working with a solid 7ft swell pushing in from the WNW. The energy is pumping hard (1488), and the kicker is that light offshore breeze from the ESE, keeping it glassy and clean. This is a powerful wave with a long 13-second period, so expect good shape and plenty of grunt, but it’s a serious wave for experienced surfers only. The crowd factor is worth noting, as it’s often busy here, so expect company.
Saturday afternoon (Sept 5th) still has decent 6ft swell, but the wind swings onshore, making it a bit of a gamble. Sunday morning (Sept 6th) drops down to 4ft but stays clean with a light cross-off breeze – a good, smaller option for a cruise.
The middle of the week gets messy again. Monday (Sept 7th) has a similar 7ft swell, but it’s onshore and lumpy, and honestly, the whole stretch from Tuesday through to the following week is mostly blown out or just plain weak.
There’s a small window of hope on Thursday, September 17th, with a clean 4ft offering a cross-off breeze from the SE, but it’s a long way off and the energy is low (253). The very end of the run, on the morning of Friday, September 18th, shows a clean 4ft with a moderate offshore wind from the ENE, making things tidy, but the period is short (6 seconds) and the energy is weak (177). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
So, the story is simple: if you’re an expert, clear your calendar for the morning of Saturday, September 5th. That’s the one. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.
