The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' over the next couple of weeks.

This forecast is a bit of a slow burner, to be honest. We're looking at a solid 10-day stretch of pretty ordinary conditions before things get interesting. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 65°.

Alright, the first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 12th, early morning. La Palue is looking at a clean, glassy start with the wind swinging to a light WSW. Swell is a modest 3ft from the WNW, but the energy is already moderate at 348. It's not going to be big, but it'll be fun on the longboard. The afternoon sees a bump in swell to 5ft from the same direction, and the period jumps to 13 seconds, giving it some proper grunt. The combined energy hits 1019, which is strong. The wind is light and offshore, but the forecast is flagged as marginal, so keep an eye on the tide.

Sunday the 13th keeps the clean lines with a 6ft, 12-second WNW swell, but again, it's flagged as marginal. The energy is still strong at 910. It's a right-offering setup with a WSW wind, so it could be a bit of a waiting game.

Then we hit a bit of a lull. Monday the 14th morning is glassy with a tiny 3ft swell, but it’s clean. The energy drops to 232. It’s a good dawn patrol option if you're desperate.

The next standout is Tuesday the 15th morning. The wind is light cross-offshore from the SE, and we've got a 4ft, 11-second WNW swell. The energy is a solid 331, and the report says "expect good surf conditions". This is a solid day for a paddle.

Now, the real excitement is a long way off. Mark your calendars for Wednesday the 23rd of September. We've got a big, long-period groundswell on the cards. The morning shows a 6ft swell from the WNW with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2041. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NE. The afternoon is even bigger, at 7ft from the same direction with a 16-second period and energy of 2236. The wind is a bit stronger, but still cross-offshore. This is a big, powerful swell, and it's very long-period, so it could be a bit straight at the beach. For a point or reef, this would be the session of the fortnight. It's a long way out, so don't bank on it, but it's definitely the one to watch. At over 8ft, this is strictly for the experts.

Overall, the best windows are the glassy morning of the 12th, the clean morning of the 15th, and the big, promising swell on the 23rd. It's a wait, but it should be worth it.

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.
