The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, checkin’ out the next couple of weeks at La Palue. It’s gonna take a bit of patience, no doubt. The water’s sittin’ at about 65°, a touch warmer than usual for the season—nothin’ wild, but you’ll feel it.
First few days are a bust. Friday the 24th through Sunday the 26th of July is just wind-chopped and tiny—waste of time. That’s a solid three-day gap.
Then Monday morning the 27th of July, it’s glassy with a clean 6ft swell from the WNW, period 10 seconds. Energy’s moderate (511), and it’s the best look of the run. That’s the one to aim for—early, before the wind turns cross-onshore. It’s an expert break, so know your limits.
After that, it’s patchy. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings have glassy conditions but the swell drops to 3ft or less, only ordinary. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are even smaller, nothin’ worth paddlin’ for.
We get a little boost Saturday the 1st of August—3ft from the WSW, 10-second period, glassy mornin’. Energy’s still weak (126). Then the wind picks up Sunday.
The followin’ week has a few clean moments but undersized. Tuesday the 4th of August has a bit of shape with a 4ft NW swell and cross-off wind, but it’s only 6-second period, so it’s gutless. The real standout late in the run is Saturday the 8th of August. Swell jumps to 6ft from the WSW, 9-second period, and the energy’s strong (621). It’s cross-shore wind though, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. That’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye—promisin’, but not locked in.
If you’re not keen on paddlin’, that wind on the 8th might make it better for the kite crowd.
All in all, Monday the 27th is your best bet. Get on it early.

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.
