The Lowdown

Right, Rusty here. Let’s break down La Palue for the next couple weeks. It’s a spot for experts only, exposed and raw, and honestly the window looks patchy. Water temp is 64°, pretty much right on the average for this time of year – nothing weird there.

Your best shot, the one that stands out above the rest, is Saturday the 5th of September. Morning session has a clean 5ft swell from the WNW with a long 11-second period – that’s proper groundswell. Wind is light offshore from the ENE, glassy as it gets. Combined wave energy is a strong 578. This is the morning to be out. The afternoon goes cross-on and choppy, so don’t drag your feet.

Sunday the 6th is tiny – 3ft from the WNW, light cross-off breeze, but it’s weak with only 143 energy. Barely worth the walk.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are a mess. Wind is on it or cross-on, choppy. Swell runs 4ft to 6ft but the quality is junk.

Friday the 11th of September morning is clean with a 6ft west swell, short 8-second period, but light cross-off from the NE keeps it tidy. Energy is 377 – moderate. Afternoon wind hits 19 mph from the north and turns it into lumpy, cross-shore chop.

Saturday the 12th morning is marginal but clean – 6ft from the WNW, 9 seconds, light cross-off. Energy is solid at 573, but the call is marginal. Might be worth a gamble.

Then it goes flat and weak from Sunday the 13th through Tuesday the 15th – 3ft to 4ft, clean at times but no power.

Wednesday the 16th morning has a tiny 3ft bump from the WSW with a long 10-second period and offshore E wind, but it’s barely a ripple.

So, lock in Saturday the 5th morning. Everything else is a long shot or a wait-and-see. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a one-swell show.

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.
