The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch for La Palue. This is a serious drought, and it’s going to be a long wait for anything worth paddling out for.

The first real chance you’ll have is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it window on the morning of Saturday, the 22nd. We’ve got a small 3ft NW swell, but it’s weak, with only 130 units of combined energy. The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE at 6 mph, which will keep it clean. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year, so the wetsuit choice is normal. Honestly, it’s surfable, but it’s nothing to get excited about—just a tiny wave to get wet.

After that, the plug gets pulled. From Saturday afternoon all the way through to the end of the month, we’re looking at a massive gap. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross, and the scores are rock bottom. There’s a nasty pulse of bigger swell around Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th, with waves pushing 8ft to 10ft, and combined energy climbing into the 800-1300 range. But don’t be fooled. The wind is howling onshore at 31 mph, making it a total washout. That’s not surf; that’s a washing machine. For a beach break like this, that setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The beginning of September is more of the same—poor conditions, onshore winds, and messy waves. You’ll see some pulses of moderate energy, like 5ft to 7ft on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th, but the wind is always cross-on or onshore, keeping it choppy and lumpy. The 5th of September has a long-period groundswell of 11 seconds from the WNW, with big energy (1116 units), but with a strong cross-on wind, it’s going to be a disorganised mess.

So, the truth is, there’s no standout session here. The only one I’d even consider is that Saturday morning on the 22nd, and even then, it’s just a tiny wave. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off. This is one of those stretches where the forecast can change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.

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.
