The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for La Palue over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest with you, it’s a bit of a rough start and a long wait for the good stuff.
The water temperature is sitting at about 66°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.
We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing for the first week. From Saturday the 29th of August right the way through to Friday the 4th of September, it’s a write-off. The wind is howling from the west and southwest, usually a strong 18 to 25 mph, whipping up a messy, cross-onshore chop. The swell is there, but it’s all wrong. You’ll see some decent sized waves, up to 8ft, but the combined energy is huge and all over the place (910 to 2277), and with that wind, it’s just a washing machine. Not worth paddling out for a beating.
Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September are slightly better, but it’s still just “marginal” at best with a cross-onshore breeze. The water’s lumpy and choppy. You’d be wasting your time.
There’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon. The one real standout, the pick of the whole period, is Saturday morning the 5th of September. For a few hours, the wind drops right out, going glassy and clean. The swell is a solid 6ft from the west-northwest, with a period of 10 seconds, which is a nice, workable groundswell. The combined energy is a solid moderate 686. This is the morning to get out there. After that, the wind swings back onshore again by the afternoon, so make the most of it.
After that, it’s back to cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions for the rest of the second week. Sunday the 6th of September through to the end of the period on the 13th is mostly blown out or just too small. There’s a day on Wednesday the 9th of September with a tiny 2ft swell and a light cross-offshore breeze, but it’s just not enough push.
The long range stuff around the 13th of September shows a very long period swell (16 seconds) which sounds promising, but the swell is small (2ft) and the cross-on wind will spoil it. Might be a fun novelty for a log, but nothing to get excited about.
So, to wrap it up: suffer through the first week. Set your alarm for Saturday the 5th of September, early, for that glassy window. That’s your best shot.
