The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for La Palue.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a struggle. The swell is small and messy, and the wind is mostly working against us. There’s no real standout session, but there are a few windows where it could be worth a paddle if you’re desperate.
Tuesday morning, the 11th of August, is one of the rare bright spots. The swell is tiny at 2ft from the NW, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wave energy is weak (65). But the wind is light offshore from the ENE, so the surface will be clean. It’s not going to be big or powerful, but for a quiet, small-wave session, it’s the best you’ll get early on. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 67°.
Wednesday morning, the 12th, sees a slight bump. Swell is 3ft from the W with a 10-second period, giving moderate energy (124). The wind is light cross-offshore from the SSE, so it’ll be clean again. Still small, but it’s surfable.
The next interesting window pops up way down the line on Thursday morning, the 20th of August. Swell builds to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds and strong energy (322). The wind is moderate cross-offshore from the NE, keeping it clean. This is the biggest and most energetic swell of the 16 days, but by the afternoon the wind gets nasty at 25 mph. Morning is your only shot.
After that, the 23rd and 24th of August offer some small, clean surfable waves (around 3ft from the WNW) but nothing to write home about.
Overall, it’s a lean run. If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 5ft during the clean windows, so it’s safe. For experts, there’s nothing to get excited about. The best bet is that Thursday morning, the 20th, for the biggest, cleanest waves of the stretch.
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.
