The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what La Palue has in store for us. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows worth keeping an eye on.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 65.1°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no shock to the system there. The next week and a half are looking pretty grim, to be honest. We've got a lot of messy, onshore wind and junky conditions. A solid swell comes in around the 4th of September, with chest-to-head-high waves (6.9 ft) from the WNW, but it's saddled with a 12 mph cross-onshore wind, making it a choppy mess. That's a big, powerful swell with combined energy hitting 1416 (strong to very strong), but the wind just wrecks it for surfing. Honestly, with the consistent cross-onshore wind and that kind of power, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. You'll have a long, boring wait until the 5th of September, when the wind finally starts to ease.
Now, the real standout is the morning of Sunday, the 6th of September. The swell drops back to a clean 2.9 ft from the WNW, but the key here is the wind. We're looking at glassy conditions—a light NNW breeze of just 3 mph. For a spot like La Palue, which is an exposed expert break, that is pure gold. It's a moderate energy swell (237), but when it's glassy, any wave is a good wave at a setup like this. It’s an expert wave, so it’s not for beginners, but the conditions will be pristine. The morning of Tuesday, the 8th, also offers a clean window with 12 mph offshore wind from the east, but the swell is pretty weak (2.6 ft and low energy, 80). It might be fun on a longboard, but it’s not the same quality as glassy Sunday.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. Your best bet, and the only one I'd get genuinely excited about, is that glassy morning on Sunday, the 6th of September. Get on it.
