The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about La Palue in feet and miles per hour. The story is the same: a long, flat spell with a couple of brief windows that are worth setting the alarm for.
We’re looking at a real dry spell to start. Nothing worth paddling out for until Monday, July 27th. That morning we get a moderate pulse of energy (combined energy of 501) with a 6ft swell from the WNW. The period is a solid 10 seconds, so it’s got some proper push. The water temp is about 65°, which is normal for the time of year. The wind is light and cross, so it’s not glassy, but it’s rideable. That’s the first real chance this period.
The standout, the one that’s got me talking, is that stretch starting Sunday, August 3rd. On Monday morning, August 3rd, the wind is calm, glassy, with a 3ft swell from the W. The combined energy is moderate at 102, and the period is 8 seconds. It’s a clean, small morning. But the real gem is Wednesday morning, August 5th. The wind is dead calm, glassy, with a 2ft swell from the W. The period is a nice 10 seconds. That’s your classic, small, clean morning session. For a break that’s usually only for experts, this is a rare and gentle treat.
The rest of the time is a mess. Around the 26th and 27th of July, you get some bigger swell (up to 6ft), but the wind is cross-on and choppy, ruining it. For a few days there, with the wind and the size, it’s definitely more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
So here’s the bottom line: the first week is mostly small and poor. The surf picks up on the 27th, but it’s not perfect. Your best chance for a clean, fun surf is the morning of Monday, August 3rd, and especially the glassy morning of Wednesday, August 5th. That’s the one to go for.
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.

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.
