The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about La Palue for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, we’ve got a quiet start. The first few days aren’t worth the drive, so don’t be in a hurry.
There’s a bit of a lull before anything good shows up. You’re looking at a wait until the morning of Saturday, September 5th. That’s a few days with nothing on the table, so just chill. But when that day comes, we’ve got a real standout.
Saturday morning, the 5th, is the one. Clean 6ft swell out of the WNW, with a long 13-second period—that’s real groundswell energy, with combined energy sitting at 1159. The wind is light and offshore from the ENE, so La Palue is going to be glassy and clean. This one’s for the experts, because that’s a powerful wave. The direction is just what this break wants. If you’re only surfing one session in this whole outlook, this is it.
But don’t sleep in—by the afternoon the wind swings onshore and it’s all over.
After that, Sunday the 6th is tiny and choppy. Monday the 7th jumps to 7ft from the west, but it’s blown out with strong onshore wind and lumpy conditions. That’s more for the kite crew than us.
The rest of the first week and into the second week is pretty average. Small surf, onshore wind, and messy. There’s a little hope on Monday the 14th with a 5ft WNW groundswell (12 seconds) and light wind, but it’s only *marginal*—maybe a session if you’re keen.
Then on Tuesday the 15th, we get a glassy morning with 4ft from the west and no wind. Not big, but clean and fun. Wednesday the 16th also has a clean morning with 3ft WNW and light offshore breeze—good for a relaxed paddle.
The standout is clear: Saturday morning the 5th. Get out there early. After that, it’s mostly waiting for the next bump. Forecasts can always change, but this is how it’s shaping up now.
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.
