Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for La Palue over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough outlook. For a spot that’s exposed and can handle a good swell, we’re staring down a long, quiet gap. The first real surfable day that’s worth paddling out for isn’t until Friday morning, the 24th of July. That’s a solid two-week stretch of small, weak, or just plain messy conditions between now and then. There are a couple of mornings that are clean, but the waves are barely a ripple. It’s a dry spell, and for this area, that’s a bit of a normal run of form when the forecasts line up like this.
Now, for the one true standout. Friday morning, the 24th of July. That’s your window. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a long period of 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy, and it’ll be packing some punch. The combined energy is sitting at 383 (solid moderate energy), and the wind is dead calm, glassy. This is about as good as it gets for a spot like La Palue. The swell direction is a perfect match for the optimum. Just remember, with that long period, the sets will have longer gaps, but the shape will be there, and paddling out won’t be a fight. Keep in mind, this is a spot for experts only, and crowds are often around, so expect plenty of company. After that morning glass, the wind swings cross-onshore in the afternoon and messes it up, so you really need to be on it early.
The rest of the forecast? It’s a grind. There’s a pulse of bigger swell showing up around the 17th and 18th of July, with heights pushing 6 ft to 7 ft, and even some strong energy readings (565 to 599), but the wind is a mess – cross-onshore and choppy. That’s a windswell situation with a short period, and it’s going to be lumpy, ragged, and a real handful. For a beach and reef setup like La Palue, that’s more of a kite surfer’s playground than a clean paddle session. Definitely not worth the drive.
So, to sum it up: the one and only call is Friday morning, the 24th of July. Glassy, clean, and a solid groundswell. Don’t blink or you’ll miss it.
Rusty.
