The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for La Palue. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for the next week or so. This is a consistent, exposed spot, but we’re looking at a real dry spell to kick things off. For the first few days, there’s just nothing doing – tiny, weak waves with onshore or cross-shore chop. Don’t bother paddling out until Friday morning.

Friday the 17th morning is the first real glimmer. We’ve got a clean, glassy surf with the wind dropping off completely. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the NNW, but with a short period of just 5 seconds, it’s not going to have much push. The combined energy is weak (65). It’s surfable, but only just. Still, for a beginner or a longboarder, that glassy window might be a fun little session before the afternoon rain comes in.

The rest of that week and into the next is a write-off. We get a few days of clean conditions with offshore winds from the NE, but the swell stays pathetic – 1ft to 1ft. It’s not worth the wetsuit peel.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Fast forward to Saturday the 25th. The morning looks like the standout of the whole 16-day window. A solid 3ft groundswell from the WNW is rolling in, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and combined energy is in the moderate range at 394. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SE, keeping the surface clean. This is the best on offer, no question. It’s an expert-only break, and with the swell direction matching the optimum (WSW), it should line up properly. The only downside is that it’s an exposed beach break, so with a longer period, it might be a bit straight, but the conditions will be clean.

After that, we get a big bump in size on the 27th and 28th, pushing well over 7ft with strong, very strong energy (1097 to 1468). But the wind is howling cross-shore and cross-on, turning it into a lumpy, choppy mess. That kind of size and power with poor wind is only for the experts, and honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a bust. The only real, clean, surfable waves are on Saturday the 25th. That’s your one to circle. The long-range stuff is too windy to get excited about.

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.
