The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it. We’ve got a mixed bag coming up at La Palue over the next couple of weeks. The immediate outlook is for some solid, clean surf, but it’s going to get messy and small in the middle before we see a possible pulse of clean energy later on.

Right off the bat, Saturday morning is your window. We’re looking at a clean 7ft of west-northwest swell with a solid 13-second period. The wind is light offshore from the east-northeast, and the water is sitting at 64°, which is right on the money for this time of year. This is proper, powerful groundswell and La Palue is an expert wave, so this is for the crew who know what they’re doing. The energy is strong, with a combined reading of 1488, and it’s going to be firing. This is the standout of the whole run. That afternoon the wind swings onshore from the west-northwest, and things will get messier, so hit it early.

Sunday drops off fast. The swell is fading to 4ft, and the wind goes cross-offshore, but the energy is weak and the period has dropped to 10 seconds. There’s not much to get excited about. Monday sees a bit of a pulse back up to 7ft from the west, but the wind is onshore and the conditions are just lumpy. It’s a step back in quality.

The middle of the week is a write-off for good waves. From Tuesday through to Friday, the swell is mostly in the 4ft to 5ft range with a lot of cross-onshore wind and periods dropping below 10 seconds. The energy readings are low to moderate, but the surf is going to be chopped up and poor. The setup is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest, with all that wind and messy swell. It’s a good time to get other things done.

The following weekend stays small and weak. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th have some surf, but it’s undersized and the wind is still messy. Not worth paddling out for anything more than a short, frustrating session.

After that, we hit a real flat spell. From the 14th through the 17th, the swell drops right out. We’re talking ankle-biters under 2ft. The only bright spot is Tuesday morning the 15th, where it’s glassy with a long 12-second period, but there’s just no energy. It will be a lake out there.

Now, looking further out, there is a glimmer of hope. On Friday the 18th, the swell starts to build again from the west-northwest, with a 13-second period, and the wind is cross-offshore from the northeast. The size is still small at 4ft, but the energy is picking up. This trend continues into Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th with clean, cross-offshore winds and a consistent west-northwest swell. This is a promising run for the second week, but it’s far out, so keep your expectations tempered. It won’t be as big as Saturday’s pulse, but it could be clean and lined up. We'll see.

Overall, Saturday morning is your best bet by far. The long-range stuff is promising but less certain, so stay tuned.

Stay stoked,
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.
