Alright crew, Rusty here again, but in feet and knots for the imperial crowd.
Let’s talk La Palue. The outlook is pretty average overall – small surf early on, and when the swell picks up in the second week, the wind is mostly cross-on and messy. A couple of windows to get wet, but nothing to write home about.
Saturday the 4th: a 3ft W swell at 10 seconds, but a cross-on NW wind at 16 mph makes it choppy. Water temp is 67°F, which is 5°F warmer than usual for July – definitely warmer than normal.
Sunday the 5th morning is a bright spot: swell drops to 2ft from the W, 9 seconds, with a light NNE cross-off breeze at 6 mph. Clean conditions, combined energy moderate at 154. Tiny but tidy.
Monday the 6th morning is probably the best of the whole run: glassy with an E breeze at 3 mph, swell 3ft from the WNW at 8 seconds. Combined energy low at 107, but you can’t beat glass at La Palue. Bring a longboard.
Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th mornings are also clean with offshore winds, but swell is only 2ft – weak energy – not worth a mission.
From Thursday the 9th onward, it’s mostly poor. There’s a bigger pulse Thursday the 16th morning: 4ft from the SW at 6 seconds, combined energy 165 – but cross-on wind again. Friday the 17th morning is the biggest energy of the forecast: 7ft W swell at 8 seconds, combined energy 890 – strong. But cross-on NW wind at 9 mph keeps it messy. For experts only, and not perfect.
The one true standout is Monday morning the 6th of July – glassy, clean, and just enough bump to ride. For those who want power, Friday the 17th of July morning has the most juice, but it’s rough. La Palue can get crowded sometimes, but on these small/rough days you should have no trouble finding your own peak.
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.
