The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Same story but in feet and Fahrenheit. La Palue is looking bleak for the next 16 days – no good surf options at all. Swell is tiny, wind is mostly cross or onshore, and combined wave energy stays low (under 100 for most of the time). The water is unusually warm for July – 68°F, 4°F above normal.
There’s a slight pulse on Thursday the 23rd morning with waves around 4ft from NNW, period 6 seconds, cross-off wind and moderate energy (125). Still only “surfable but very ordinary”. The best of a bad bunch.
Saturday the 25th morning sees 5ft from NW, period 6 seconds, but cross-on wind and choppy – energy 187. Saturday afternoon pushes 6ft with 365 energy, same wind trouble. Then Sunday the 26th is onshore, and it all fades. Nothing clean, nothing with proper shape.
For an expert break like La Palue, it’s a wasted window. Crowds maybe often, but nobody’s gonna be out in this mush. Forecasts can change, but for now – save your energy.

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.
